Church signs are a staple of small-community life. They’re one of the first things you see when you drive through a cute town center and often give you an idea of what kind of neighborhood you’ve just entered.

But most of the time, they’re more than a way for religious institutions to reach out to people, share the gospel, and resonate with their town’s sense of community. These roadside signs can be a valuable and unexpected source of… entertainment. You know what we’re talking about. Those short, extra clever, and sometimes quite ambiguous church sign sayings you can’t help but look at, hoping to find a rib-tickling pun or joke. 

After all, you know what they say: if you’ve got it, flaunt it. And if your church has also got a funny bone, consider yourself lucky — making people laugh is an art form.

Now, thanks to the internet’s insatiable appetite for all things strange and humorous, we can look at some of the most hilarious church signs from around the country! Can you imagine the days before the internet when you couldn’t just search for clever church sign ideas for your church’s outdoor panel? Crazy how they could come up with them with no help.

These funny church signs will have you cracking up, whether it’s a clever play on words or a pun-tastic double meaning. Only one thing is sure — these people knew exactly what they were doing!

THIS! I always say that Christians are the judgiest ppl ever. And I grew up in a Christian home, so I should know Edit: this has gotten a couple comments, so I'm editing to say that a lot of Christians are super judgey and use religion to justify that, didnt mean to offend anyone

When other Christians are being homophobic, I ask “When Jesus comes again, will he accept those who loved despite the hate or those who hated?”

I think the point they're making is that if Jesus had 2 dads, then kids of gay parents will be just fine too :)

Listen, I'm all about what ever happy, safe family dynamic works for everyone, BUT Jesus DID NOT TURN OUT OK!!! He was put to death by the state at 33. He turned away from a partner who loved him. He was unemployed. He hung out with and trusted really questionable drifters, one of whom betrayed him for a reward. If my kid turned out like Jesus, I would consider myself a complete failure as a parent. (And, also, I'm atheist, so please save your threats of damnation for someone who gives a f**k,thanks.)

That's an interesting way of saying "put to death for speaking against tyrannical rulers, lived a minimalistic lifestyle, invested in outcasts and criminals and helped them change their lives, and then was horribly betrayed by someone he trusted." Also, I'm not sure what partner you are talking about. Maybe you don't realize Jesus challenged the religious people of his day and befriended the downtrodden and the outcasts. He dedicated his life to preaching about the love of God and loving people that same way. He also knew he was going to die painfully and faced and accepted this fate. Jesus was an awesome dude. It sounds like you don't really know who he is. I also don't believe you will be damned. I just don't want you to talk bad about someone I look up to and care about. Jesus would have loved and accepted you as you are right now. And I think that's a great thing.

The intent is somewhat honorable but the message implies that something the Bible condemns is okay and not condemned

Basically, don’t be a hypocrite, or you’re NOT going to get the result you think you’re going to get.
