6 Best Sermon Bumpers & Video Animations

There are so many unique and incredible things we can do through video. We can evoke deep emotions, convince otherwise inconvincible people, and entertain in an impactful way.

Within the church, the possibilities of using video are endless! Video can add value to our online services, in-person experiences, website, and social feeds. There are many different ways your church can use video, and we want to highlight two very popular types: sermon bumpers and video animations.

Check out this list of the 6 best sermon bumpers and video animations for some great inspiration to implement these types of videos in your church!

1. Church@home - Churchome

This video, shared by Churchome of Seattle, Washington, is the perfect example of quality video animation. The purpose of this video is clear right from the get-go: Churchome wants to inform and invite people to their house church experiences that happen all across the world.

The video features modern, abstract people of all different diversities as they enjoy community with others. The video highlights information about church@home and the church’s purpose behind it. The editing is seamless, and design is clean, and the message is abundantly clear.

2. The Struggle is Real - Transformation Church

Transformation Church is one of the greatest names out there when it comes to videos and especially sermon bumpers. This video is the perfect mixture of quirky editing styles, humor, and simple animation.

The video starts with a sitcom-Esque intro with a very fun and skillfully animated video sequence. The sermon bumper and the others from this same series highlight a classic everyday struggle such as running out of milk with a huge bowl of cereal.

This sermon bumper is a great example of how including a fun, brief video can bring an extra special touch to your church services!
