Easter Sunday is one of the most significant and well-attended days of the year for churches. It’s also one of the best opportunities to connect with your community online. With just a little planning, your church’s social media can go from routine to remarkable, helping you reach new people and encourage deeper engagement.
Here are several creative social media ideas to help your church make the most of Easter Sunday 2025.
1. Start with an Easter Countdown
In the days leading up to Easter, create a visual countdown to build anticipation. Each day, post a graphic with a Scripture verse, short prayer, or reflection.
Pro tips:
- Use your church’s color scheme for a cohesive look
- Include service times or Easter event info in the caption
- Add a reminder to share or tag friends
2. Share Stories of Life Change
Ask members to share short testimonies about how God has worked in their lives. Highlight these stories in the weeks leading up to Easter, either as video clips or text graphics.
Make it easy:
- Record short videos after Sunday services
- Use a simple prompt like “What does Easter mean to you?”
- Get permission and keep it personal but brief
3. Promote a Photo Booth Moment
If you’re setting up a photo booth at church on Easter Sunday, let people know ahead of time so they’ll be camera-ready. Then encourage attendees to post their photos and tag your church.
To make it shareable:
- Create a unique hashtag for your Easter service
- Design a custom overlay or frame for the photos
- Post highlights throughout the day
4. Go Live Before or After Service
Use Instagram Live or Facebook Live to give a behind-the-scenes look at your Easter services. Introduce volunteers, show your worship team warming up, or capture post-service reactions.
Tips:
- Keep it under 10 minutes
- Use captions or live comments to engage viewers
- Save the video for replay afterward
5. Offer a Shareable Invite
Give your congregation digital invite graphics they can use to spread the word. Provide both square and story formats so they’re easy to use across platforms.
Ideas for distribution:
- Post downloadable links in your church email or website
- Text links directly to small group leaders or volunteers
- Print cards with QR codes leading to the digital invite
