Church newsletter names – how to call your church newsletter to get more followers to sign up?

Deciding what to call your church newsletter can be tricky. You want to stand out and come up with catchy church newsletter names but it looks like all the catchy names are taken. Does this sound familiar?

The good news is that there are plenty of ways to come up with a creative name for your church newsletter.

How do I choose the right church newsletter name?

You have to think about the purpose of the newsletter, who is reading it, and what will be in the newsletter. So you might decide on using the church’s name in the newsletter, including the timing of the newsletter (e.g. YOURCHURCHNAME Weekly) or refer to the contents of the newsletter (e.g. YOURCHURCHNAME Announcements).

If you want to get a bit more creative, you can even try using an acronym, this looks good in a logo/graphic that will make your newsletter stand out.

The most important thing to remember is that you can only name your church newsletter once, so it has to have a meaningful name that will be relevant for a long time. It’s very confusing changing the church newsletter name often, so spend some time thinking about what would be the best name for your church newsletter.

Using your church name in church newsletter names

This is a popular one. It’s also the more traditional route. Using the name of your church in the newsletter makes it easy for your readers to know who’s the sender – people get lots of emails and sometimes they don’t even open or read them!

It can also get you more followers because people might forward or share the link to the church newsletter with their friends (if they think there’s something interesting in the newsletter that their friends want to see) without explaining what it is.

How many times have you forwarded a link/attachment to a friend? We’ve all done it. And this can increase followers and subscriber rates to your church newsletter. So you want the name of your church newsletter to be clear about who’s sending the newsletter.

Here are some examples:

Example 1

• Church name: Community Presbyterian Church
• Church newsletter name: Community Press

Example 2

• Church name: Lighthouse Foursquare Gospel Church
• Church newsletter name: Lighthouse Today

Example 3

• Church name: Bare Memorial Church of God
• Church newsletter name: Bare Essentials

Example 4

Bible reference in newsletter names

By using a bible reference in church newsletter names, you are making it very clear to the reader that the contents of the newsletter are related to a church, religious message, or purpose. Basically, it is using a popular phrase or even scripture in the bible and using it on its own or combining it with other words, to name your church newsletter.

Using a bible reference works, it appeals to people in the church because they are familiar with it. It can also be very catchy which will make people want to sign up for it.

Here are some examples:

• The Message
• Seeking Truth
• Hallelujah Chorus
• The Good News

Here’s everything you need to know about writing church newsletters.

Church newsletter names that rhyme is memorable! You can use a combination of the bible reference and your church name here. Or even reference the time that the church newsletter is sent out in the name. As long as it makes sense about the content of the newsletter or who’s it coming from, choosing a name that rhymes can be super effective.

Here are some examples:

• Pews news
• Expressing Blessing
• Pray the day away
• Grace Place
• Destiny Daily

Using alliteration in church newsletter names

This is when the first letter of each word starts with the same letter or sound. It makes for a catchy church newsletter name and is also easy to remember. Again, you can use a bible reference, the name of your church, or even something related to the content in the church newsletter.

This works really well if you’re sending out more than one newsletter, for example, one newsletter for the worship team, another one for the women’s ministry, and a separate one for the entire congregation. People might only decide to sign up for the newsletter that they are most interested in if the name is clear about the contents of the newsletter.

Here are some examples:

• The Weekly Word
• Monthly Matters
• The Ark’s Articles (if your church name is The Ark)
• Gospel Gabber
• Holy Hallelujah
• Jesus Joy
• Calming Cross
• Jump for Joy
• Sunday Showcase
• Cross Chronicles
• Hope Happens
• Following Faith
• Gospel Guidance
• Worship Weekly
• Worship Wonders
