Church Programming Sites 

Aids in Service Programming

These are the sites that I know of and use when searching for programming elements for our services.
MinistryHub.com
Ministry Hub is a unique tool designed to make your life easier. If you are like the majority of church leaders, you spend countless hours each week searching for the perfect illustration or idea for your services. Many times, the search is fruitless and frustrating. On top of that, combing through countless web sites costs you precious minutes out of your already packed day. That's where we come in.

At Ministry Hub, we have created an online network that allows you to exchange ideas with other ministry leaders. Among its many features, our site allows you to build your own creative team online, consolidate and organize all of your ideas into one accessible location, and to enjoy the benefits of our massive information database. On top of that, Ministry Hub features "Virtual Brainstorming Sessions," a revolutionary new technology that allows you to participate in scheduled sessions live with other creative people. Sign up and create your FREE acount today!
TowardWonder
If you have been doing programming for Contemporary Churches you know who Willow is. TowardWonder gives you access to all of the product that Willow Creek has created in the past years.
Sermon Spice
Best on the web for downloading multimedia clips for your services.
CreativePastors.com
This is the content site for Fellowship Church in Texas. It contains messages, videos, dramas and artwork for services and series.
Planning Center Online
This site simply rocks! Can't imagine ministry without using it now.
Highway Video
This is a topic driven media site. There is a lot of good stuff here, but most of it's too long in my opinion.
Movie Ministry
This is a subscription based site we use to assist in locating movie clips based on topic. I've found a few that work well here. It's a good place to start when searching for clips.
Wingclips
This is a subscription site that allows you to download the actual movie clip to be used in your service. They even have clips from movies that haven't been released yet and are still in the theaters! Check it out.
Worship House Media
Another great site for media content for your weekend services.

About timayates

Hello, this is Tim Yates.  I'm always searching for new ways to come up with creative content to be used during worship services.  I hope this lens will make available to you any information I've picked up in my 18 years of ministry and hope to learn from you also.  I believe that the most effective way for churches to program their services in the future is to share as much information as possible.
