1. Sparkling Exterior Lights
There are two benefits to using Christmas lights to decorate the outside of your church. Not only can you bring holiday cheer to your members of the congregation, but you can also reach out to those in your community who will be passing by your church throughout the season.
There are many original ways to use outdoor lights to adorn your church. First, you must decide whether you want multicoloured or white lights, plug-in or battery-operated lights, or incandescent or LED bulbs. After that, you can choose how to embellish the outside of your home.
You can use net lights for trees and shrubs, unusual string lights to line the pathways leading up to your church, or string or icicle lights around the edge of your roof.
2. Festive Floodlights
Adding floodlights to the exterior of your church is a festive (and simple) way to make a big impression. You can use coloured floodlights to create a festive red and green lighting effect for your church during the evenings.
Another option is to get a remote-controlled, weatherproof light show projector to add artistic patterns and graphics to the lighting in your church. Among the images these projections can produce are candy canes, stars, snowflakes, and bells.
3. Illuminated Stained Glass
Christmas is a great time to upgrade your stained-glass windows with lighting that makes them look as good at night as they do in the daylight.

5. Flameless Holiday Candles
A lovely and easy approach to creating a cozy atmosphere and pleasant lighting in your church is using candles. Sadly, candles can potentially start a fire.
This holiday season, think about purchasing flameless holiday candles to keep your church safe. To replicate the look of a real candle without the risk, these LED candlesticks frequently have flickering and dimming features.
When you sing Christmas carols during your services, you can give these candles to your church members. They can be used in wreaths, on welcome tables, all around the stage, and other décor elements.
6. Meaningful Advent Candles
Making ensuring your holiday décor highlights the birth of Jesus Christ—the true meaning of Christmas—is crucial. Apart from using interesting lights, you may also think about including a flameless advent candle in your décor or even include one in your service to remind your congregation of the joy, love, peace, and hope that come from a connection with Jesus.
7. LED Nativity Scene & Silhouettes
Including the nativity scene in your display is a must, so make sure it draws the attention it deserves. Represent the true meaning of Christmas with a show-stopping 2D nativity scene that includes top-quality and shiny LED lights. You can also add 2D LED silhouettes of other popular characters and animals like angels, shepherds, and camels to enhance your display.
8. Pole-mounted Christmas Light Displays
Pole-mounted Christmas light displays are great for catching everyone’s attention with their bright and beautiful designs. Choose your light displays from a wide variety of colours and shapes to match your church’s overall theme and display. Use streetlight poles, lamp posts, or parking lot light poles to give them an extra flair and pop of colour.
