Church Campaign Launch Checklist
Why does a precise launch checklist matter? Churches juggle sermons, events, and volunteer coordination while limited staff handle design, copy, and distribution. Without a repeatable process you waste time, miss engagement peaks, and lose potential donations. This checklist gives you a tactical roadmap to create, publish, and measure every campaign element with AI speed.

1. Weekly Sermon Graphics

AI‑Generated Sermon Slide Deck

AI‑Generated Sermon Slide Deck

Prompt DesignLumo with the sermon title, key scripture, and three supporting points; the AI returns a fully layered PowerPoint file. Open the file, swap the placeholder fonts for your church’s Brand Kit, adjust colors to match the liturgical season, and export each slide as 1080×1920 PNGs. Upload the PNG set to Buffer, schedule posts for 8 am, 12 pm, and 6 pm on Facebook and Instagram, then track click‑through rate (CTR) and post‑reach. Aim for a CTR above 2 % and a 10 % lift in weekly online viewership compared to the previous week.

Auto‑Resize Social Posts for All Platforms

Auto‑Resize Social Posts for All Platforms

Create a single 1080×1080 graphic in DesignLumo using the sermon tagline and a background image of the sanctuary. Enable the auto‑resize feature, select Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn presets, and let the AI adjust text size and safe zones automatically. Export a ZIP of all sizes, upload to Later, and set publishing times based on platform‑specific peak hours (e.g., 7 pm for Facebook, 9 am for Instagram). Measure platform‑specific engagement; a 5 % increase in average likes indicates the resize succeeded.

Email Newsletter Header Automation

Email Newsletter Header Automation

In DesignLumo, type a prompt like “modern, warm email header for weekly church newsletter with cross motif and brand teal”. The AI returns an editable PSD; replace placeholder text with the week’s theme, ensure the header height is 600 px, and save as a JPEG under 150 KB. Connect the file to Mailchimp’s Campaign Builder via the Content Library, and set the header to appear in every weekly send. Track open rates; a 3 % lift over the baseline signals the new visual is resonating.

2. Event Promotion Assets

Youth Group Night Flyer with QR RSVP

Youth Group Night Flyer with QR RSVP

Ask DesignLumo for a “vibrant, teen‑friendly flyer for Friday youth night, featuring neon accents and a QR code placeholder”. After generation, import a QR code (created via QRCode Monkey linking to a Google Form) into the designated layer, adjust font sizes, and set the event date in bold. Export a print‑ready PDF (300 dpi) and a web‑optimized PNG (800 px width). Distribute PNG on Instagram Stories, track swipe‑ups; aim for at least 150 RSVPs per event.

Holiday Service Banner Series A/B Test

Holiday Service Banner Series A/B Test

Generate three seasonal banner variations in DesignLumo (e.g., “Traditional Nativity”, “Modern Light”, “Family Celebration”). Export each as 1200×628 px for Facebook. Use Canva’s Content Planner to schedule each banner for a different day in the two‑week Advent window. Implement Facebook’s split‑test feature to rotate banners evenly, then monitor cost‑per‑engagement (CPE). Retain the banner with the lowest CPE (target < $0.05) for the final service promotion.

Paid Outreach Ad Creative

Paid Outreach Ad Creative

Create a 1080×1080 ad in DesignLumo prompting “Join Our Community – Free Easter Service”. Include a clear CTA button layer labeled “Learn More”. Export PNG, upload to Facebook Ads Manager, set a $5‑daily budget, and target a 5‑mile radius around the church with interests in “Christianity” and “family activities”. Track conversion‑rate (sign‑ups per click); a 4 % conversion rate justifies scaling the budget to $15 daily.

3. Volunteer & Donation Coordination

Volunteer Sign‑Up Card with Embedded Form

Volunteer Sign‑Up Card with Embedded Form

Design a 5×7 inch volunteer card in DesignLumo featuring a clean layout, church logo, and a placeholder for a QR code. Generate a QR code linking to a Typeform volunteer questionnaire, insert it into the QR layer, and adjust the copy to read “Scan to Serve”. Export PDF for printing and PNG for social sharing. Monitor form completions; a 30 % conversion from impressions to sign‑ups indicates effectiveness.

Donation Thank‑You Card Automation via Zapier

Donation Thank‑You Card Automation via Zapier

Create a thank‑you card template in DesignLumo with placeholders for donor name, amount, and a personalized scripture. Save the file as an editable PNG. In Zapier, set a trigger on new Stripe donation, pull donor data, use the DesignLumo API (via webhook) to replace placeholders, then send the finished image via Gmail to the donor. Track repeat‑donation rate; a 12 % increase within 30 days signals strong impact.

Fundraising Event Countdown Graphic

Fundraising Event Countdown Graphic

Prompt DesignLumo for a “dynamic countdown banner, 1080×1920, with church colors and space for a live timer”. Export the layered PSD, open in Adobe After Effects, replace the placeholder with a Countdown Timer plugin set to the event date, render as an MP4, and upload to Instagram Reels. Measure story views and link clicks; aim for a 20 % click‑through to the ticket page during the final 48 hours.
