Did you know that businesses are not the only ones that need a great logo? Schools, churches, and even and non-profit organizations need a great logo, as well. People often look for churches to visit when they are on vacation and away from their home church, as well as many other times when they just want to find a church to attend on a regular basis.<\/p>\n

While churches are not usually in the business of making money, even non-profit organizations need a logo<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Why have a church logo?<\/h2>\n

If you are in charge of a church in your area and you are wondering whether you need a logo or not, consider these factors:<\/p>\n

1. People who are looking for a church may type in “churches in my area” on Google, and they may only see the logo.<\/u><\/strong>– When people are trying to find a church that they are interested in, they may look for a church through local searches, primarily. They may not know the name of your church if they are new to the area, so they may perform a search to locate one.<\/p>\n

If you have a logo that can be found in the searches, you will get more local results than if you only have a website without a logo.<\/p>\n

2. Google sometimes returns photo or image results first in the searches.<\/u><\/strong>– Searchers can choose how they look for a church. They may just do a search within their immediate area, type in the name of a particular type of church, or search “images only.” Additionally, Google sometimes returns image results that appear in an obvious place within the search. If you have an attractive and distinct logo, it will show up in the search results so that people can find it easier.<\/p>\n

3. A professional logo makes your church look dignified and professional.<\/u><\/strong>– If you have a professional logo, you present your church in a professional and dignified manner that people expect from a church or religious organization.<\/p>\n

4. It’s important that your logo is unique and differs from other church logos in your area.<\/u><\/strong>– Just like a business, a church organization needs to be unique, and it should be different from other churches. Even though church groups are not inherently as competitive as companies, they still want to distinguish themselves from others.<\/p>\n

5. A professional logo lets you create a unique identity with your parishioners and members.<\/u><\/strong>– It’s important not only to create a logo that others will recognize and respond to, but you should also create a logo that will resonate with your members and parishioners. When your members like how your website, blog, and logo look, they have a better feeling about their organization, and it helps them to feel that it is important.<\/p>\n

The Business of Churches<\/h2>\n

Churches have a different objective than businesses. Their philosophy is based on the Bible or the religious teachings of God. Their purpose tends to be to convert the lost, help the needy, and spread the word to others. The money they raise is usually on an individual basis from their members who want to contribute to the efforts of the church for benevolent or missionary works.<\/p>\n

At the same time, they offer a home congregation<\/a> that their members can attend that they want them to feel good about. Visitors should also feel welcome by what they see of the church when they come to visit.<\/p>\n
