Church graphics, backgrounds and media

Where a church team gets sermon graphics and worship backgrounds, free and paid, with each pricing page as it looked on 6 October 2026.

How we chose. We read each tool’s own pricing page on 6 October 2026 and kept a screenshot of it, which is on this page beside the tool. Prices are in US dollars unless the vendor showed a regional price, in which case we say so. Where a vendor only gives prices in a sales call, we say that rather than guess. We did not test these tools hands-on; what each does well and where it falls short comes from the vendor’s own pages, and what its users say is quoted word for word, with a link.

We make Slice. It appears only in the sermon clips guide, marked “ours”. No tool paid to be listed, and nothing here was tested hands-on.

Questions

Are there other media libraries?

Several presentation programs include one: EasyWorship Premium (49,800-plus backgrounds), Proclaim Pro Media, and MediaShout with Shift Worship Media. See the presentation guide.

What about Pixel Preacher?

We left it out. On 6 October 2026 its site would not load, and its domain was listed for sale.
