1. Why do churches install outdoor LED display screens?
1). Information dissemination and publicity
The church installs an outdoor LED display screen, which is like giving the church an extra “talking mouth”.
Through this large screen, the church can easily display important information such as worship time, event schedule, and charity fundraising so that passers-by can see it.
Moreover, playing some religious-themed videos or pictures can also attract those who may be interested in the church and make them more willing to enter the church.
In this way, the popularity of the church can also be gradually improved in the community, so that more people know that this is a place that can bring positive energy.
2). Enhance religious experience
The outdoor LED display screen can make the church’s religious activities more “ritualistic.”
Imagine that during worship, believers outside can also see the singing and reading of hymns inside through the big screen and feel that they are also participating in the worship. This sense of participation is very important.
Moreover, the pictures on the screen can create a solemn and sacred atmosphere, making it easier for believers to immerse themselves in religious activities and feel spiritual satisfaction. This experience is very precious for believers.
3). Energy saving and economy
Installing an outdoor LED display is actually a very cost-effective choice. Although this screen looks expensive at first, it is very energy-saving and has a long life. It does not need to be replaced for many years. The cost is actually very low.
Moreover, the church can also put some advertisements on it, such as community activities or business advertisements, which can also generate more income.
This money can not only subsidize the cost of the display but also provide financial support for other activities of the church, such as killing two birds with one stone.
4). Modernization and sense of technology
Installing an outdoor LED display in the church is like putting on a “technological coat” for the church. In this era, everyone likes new things, especially young people.
With this screen, the church looks more modern and more in line with the trend of the times, which can attract more young people’s attention.
Moreover, through the intelligent control system, it is also very convenient to update the screen content, without the trouble of posting posters and writing notices as before.
2. What are the requirements of the church for the outdoor LED display?
The outdoor LED display of the church cannot be installed casually like ordinary advertising screens. Because churches are usually tall and easily struck by lightning, lightning protection measures must be put in place.
The display screen must be equipped with a special lightning protection device, just like putting a “lightning armor” on the screen. Once lightning strikes, it can quickly guide the current to the ground to avoid damaging the screen.
Moreover, the outer shell and main body of the screen must be grounded, and the grounding resistance must be less than 3 ohms, which is like installing a “flood discharge port” for the screen, so that the lightning current has a place to run and will not run around in the screen.
The power line and signal line must also be equipped with lightning arresters to prevent lightning from running in along the line.
Outdoor LED display screens are often exposed to wind and rain. Therefore, the screen itself and the connection with the building must be tight and cannot leak water or electricity.
There must also be good drainage measures. Otherwise, rainwater will accumulate behind the screen and will easily cause problems over time. Moreover, the screen must be able to withstand the sun and rain.
It cannot be said that it will rust after rain or break after being exposed to the sun. The screen used in the church must be of high quality; otherwise, it will be troublesome and expensive to repair.
The outdoor LED display screen of the church must have enough luminosité. Because the light outside the church is usually strong, if the screen brightness is not enough, it will not be clear in broad daylight.
Generally speaking, the brightness should be between 5000 and 8000cd/m² so that it can be seen clearly even in the sun.
De plus, le résolution of the screen cannot be low, and it is best to choose a smaller pas de pixel, such as P3 and P4.
In this way, the displayed content will be clear and delicate, and people can feel comfortable whether it is text or pictures.
Outdoor LED display screens will generate heat when working, especially in summer, and problems are likely to occur when the temperature is high.
Therefore, the screen must have a good heat dissipation system, such as installing ventilation equipment to allow the heat to be dissipated in time.
Generally speaking, the temperature inside the screen should be controlled between -10℃ and 40℃. Otherwise, the screen will break down soon, and the maintenance cost will go up.
The architectural style and structure of the church are different, so the installation method of the outdoor LED display screen must also be flexible and diverse.
Some churches may be suitable for wall-mounted, while others may be suitable for floor-standing or hanging.
Moreover, the size and shape of the screen should also be customized according to the specific needs of the church, so that it can be perfectly integrated with the architectural style of the church and not appear abrupt.
Church staff may not have much technical experience, so the display screen’s content management system must be simple and easy to use.
It is best to be as simple as operating a mobile phone, and you can update the content and arrange the playback time by tapping the screen.
Moreover, it would be better if it supports remote monitoring and operation, so that staff can manage content without running to the screen, saving time and effort.
The budget of the church is usually limited, so the outdoor LED display screen must be energy-saving.
For example, the screen can automatically adjust the brightness according to the light outside, with higher brightness when the light is strong and lower brightness when the light is weak, which can save a lot of electricity.
Moreover, the quality of the screen should be good and durable so that the frequency of maintenance and replacement will be low, which can save a lot of money in the long run.
The church is a sacred place, and the installation of the outdoor LED display screen must be safe and stable.
The steel structure of the screen must be strong enough to withstand natural disasters such as strong winds and earthquakes.
Moreover, the installation must be strictly in accordance with the building specifications, and no damage should be caused to the building structure of the church.
Otherwise, once a problem occurs, not only will the screen be damaged, but it may also affect the safety of the church.
In short, when installing an outdoor LED display screen in a church, it is necessary to consider both function and effect, as well as safety, durability, and economy.
Only in this way can the screen operate stably outdoors for a long time and provide strong support for the church’s activities and publicity.
3. Where is the outdoor LED display screen of the church generally installed?
The church installed an outdoor LED display screen, and the location is well-selected.
The effect can be twice the result with half the effort. So where should it be installed?
In fact, there are several locations for the installation of the church’s outdoor LED display screen, each location has its advantages, and the key is to choose according to the actual needs and environment of the church.
1). Church entrance
The entrance of the church is a must-go place for everyone to go in and out, and it is also a place to leave a first impression.
Installing the LED display screen at the entrance is like installing an “electronic facade” for the church. Every time believers pass by or enter and exit the church, they can see the content on the screen.
For example, it can display worship times, event previews, religious festival arrangements, and even religious stories or Bible verses.
In this way, everyone can not only get information in time but also feel the church’s intentions.
Moreover, the display screen at the entrance can also serve as a welcoming role.
For example, if there are newlyweds coming to attend the wedding, or if there are tourists visiting the church, the display screen can show the map and direction of the church, telling them how to go, which makes people feel very intimate.
However, the height and angle of the display screen installed at the entrance should be noted. It should be visible at a glance, but it should not block the way in and out.
2). Church building exterior wall
If the exterior wall of the church is more conspicuous, it is a good choice to install the LED display screen on the exterior wall.
This installation method is a bit like putting a “technological coat” on the church, which can attract the attention of passers-by from a distance.
Imagine an ancient church with a modern LED display screen. The perfect combination of tradition and modernity, isn’t it very impressive?
The display screen can be used to show the history and architectural style of the church or play animations of some religious stories.
For example, at Christmas or Easter, the screen can play related holiday stories to attract passers-by to walk into the church.
Moreover, turning on the screen at night can also serve as a decoration, making the church sparkle in the night.
However, the display screen installed on the exterior wall should pay special attention to waterproofing and windproofing, after all, the environment outside is relatively harsh.
3). The top or high place of the church
If the architectural structure of the church allows, installing the LED display screen on the top or high place is also a very creative choice. This installation method allows the display screen to cover a wider area and attract more attention.
For example, the church display can be seen from the street or square in the distance, which has a good publicity effect.
However, the display installed at a high place has high requirements for structural stability, after all, it has to withstand strong winds and heavy rain.
Moreover, it is more troublesome to install and maintain, and may require professional equipment and personnel. Therefore, this installation method is suitable for churches with sufficient budgets and building structures.
4). Church Square or Courtyard
If the church has a square or courtyard, these places are also good places to install LED display screens. Squares or courtyards are usually where churches hold outdoor activities, such as outdoor worship, community activities or charity sales.
Installing the display screen here can play relevant content during the event, which is convenient for everyone to watch.
For example, during outdoor worship, the display screen can synchronously display the sermon content and lyrics so that the believers present can see it clearly.
Moreover, the display screen with this installation method is preferably movable, or the installation method is more flexible so that the position can be adjusted according to the needs of different activities.
4. How outdoor LED screens help churches increase their influence
Installing outdoor LED screens in churches is like installing a “super speaker” for the church, which allows more people to hear the church’s voice, see the church’s activities, and attract more people to enter the church. Here are some specific methods:
1). Make the message “shout” louder
Churches often have various activities, such as worship, prayer meetings, charity events, and celebrations of various religious festivals.
In the past, churches could only rely on posting posters and handing out flyers to inform everyone, with limited effect.
Now, with outdoor LED screens, these messages can be “shouted” louder and spread further.
For example, if the worship time changes or there are special activities, as long as it is displayed on the screen, passers-by can see it at a glance.
In addition, the screen can also scroll and play, and the amount of information is very large. In this way, not only can believers know in time, but passers-by may also be attracted.
2). Attract young people and make them feel that the church is “cool”
Today’s young people are immersed in mobile phones and computers every day and are not very interested in traditional things. But outdoor LED screens are different; they are very “cool.”
Churches can use it to play some animations of religious stories or inspirational short videos to attract the attention of young people.
For example, at Christmas, play animations of Christmas stories; at Easter, show Easter egg making videos.
These contents can not only make young people feel fresh, but also make them feel that the church is also “trendy” and willing to come in and participate in activities.
3). Make the church more “sacred.”
Le luminosité of the outdoor LED display is very high, and the display effect is particularly good.
During the worship, the screen can synchronously display lyrics and scriptures, and can also play some religious music videos, making the atmosphere of the whole worship more solemn and sacred.
For example, when singing, the lyrics are displayed on the screen, and everyone sings along, and the sense of participation is particularly strong.
In addition, the screen can also play some historical photos and architectural introductions of the church, so that believers can better understand the background of the church and increase their sense of belonging.
4). Make the church more “face-saving” in the community
With an outdoor LED display, the image of the church in the community will be greatly improved. It is not only a publicity tool but also shows the openness and tolerance of the church.
For example, the church can promote community activities and charity projects and even show blessings from community residents on the screen.
In this way, the relationship between the church and the community will be closer, and community residents will feel that the church is a warm and loving place, and are willing to participate in church activities and even become believers.
5). Change the content at any time and display it as you want
The content of the outdoor LED display can be updated at any time, and you can display whatever you want. The church can adjust the content on the screen according to different festivals, activities, and even weather conditions.
For example, at Christmas, the screen can become a snow scene with snowflakes fluttering and Christmas trees shining; at Easter, it can become a sea of flowers with bunnies jumping around.
This flexible display method can not only attract people but also make the church’s activities more distinctive.
6). Live broadcast and interaction allow believers to participate “across the air.”
Now that technology is so advanced, many people can’t go to church to attend worship in person every time. With an outdoor LED display, the church can broadcast the worship ceremony live so that believers can watch it at home.
Moreover, the screen can also set interactive functions, such as real-time display of blessings or comments on social media.
Believers can send blessings at home, which will be immediately displayed on the screen, making them feel that although they are not present, they can still participate with everyone.
5. What can the LED display screen display during outdoor activities?
1). Activity theme and welcome words
When the church holds outdoor activities, the LED display screen is like a “big sign” that can catch everyone’s attention for the first time.
For example, if the church is holding an Easter celebration, the screen can display the theme words “Welcome to the Easter celebration!” in large fonts so that people can understand the theme of the event at a glance.
If a new friend comes for the first time, add a warm welcome, such as “Welcome all believers and friends to our outdoor worship activities.
May God’s love be with you!” This kind of intimate welcome method can make people feel particularly warm and bring them closer to the church.
2). Lyrics and scriptures
Singing is a very important part of worship activities, and this is when the LED display screen can come in handy.
When singing, the lyrics are displayed synchronously on the screen, and believers can sing along without worrying about not remembering the lyrics.
Moreover, if there is a scripture reading session, the content of the scripture can also be displayed on the screen, such as “John 3:16-For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.”
In this way, everyone can listen and read at the same time, better understand the meaning of the scripture, and make the atmosphere of worship more focused and solemn.
3). Activity process and schedule
During outdoor activities, people come and go, and it is easy for them to be confused about which step the activity is in. At this time, the LED display can be of great help.
The process and schedule of the activity can be displayed on the screen, such as “Next is the sermon session, and Pastor [name] will share the theme of ‘love and hope’.” Or “In 15 minutes, we will hold a charity auction.”
If there is a session that needs to be timed, such as prayer time or silence time, a countdown can be set to be displayed on the screen so that everyone can clearly know the time progress, and the activity can be carried out more orderly.
4). Religious stories and animations
Outdoor activities in churches, especially for children or young people, playing animations of religious stories is particularly popular.
For example, play the animation of “The Story of Jesus’ Birth” at Christmas events, or play the animation of “Jesus’ Resurrection” at Easter events.
These vivid animations can not only attract children’s attention, but also make it easier for them to understand religious stories.
Moreover, playing some inspirational religious videos, such as the theme videos about the power of faith, love, and hope, can also make the event more infectious and let believers feel the beauty of faith.
5). Community information and announcements
The church’s outdoor activities are often also for serving the community. At this time, the LED display can become a “loudspeaker” for community information.
For example, you can display information about community activities, such as “Next Saturday, the church will hold a community free clinic, and all residents are welcome to participate.”
Or “This Sunday, the church will organize a community cleaning activity; let us contribute to the community together.”
If there is a charity fundraising session, the purpose and goal of the fundraising can also be displayed on the screen, “This fundraising will be used to help children in poor areas, and the target amount is 100,000 yuan.”
At the same time, the fundraising progress is displayed in real-time to encourage more people to participate and make community activities more meaningful.
6). Interactive content
Now, everyone likes to interact, and the church’s outdoor activities can also use LED displays to increase interactive sessions.
For example, set up a blessing session and let believers send blessings to the screen through their mobile phones, “May God’s love be with you, and may your life be full of sunshine.”
These blessings can not only enhance the interactivity of the event but also allow participants to feel each other’s warmth.
If there is a sermon or sharing session in the event, the audience’s questions can also be displayed on the screen, and the pastor or preacher can answer them to make the event more lively and interesting.
7). Church introduction and history
For new believers or visitors, it is important to understand the history and background of the church.
The LED display can display the introduction of the church, such as “Our church was built in 1850 and is one of the oldest churches in the area.
We hold worship, charity events and community services every week.
” If the church’s architecture is special, the details and introduction of the building can also be displayed on the screen, “The stained glass windows of this church are masterpieces of the 19th century, depicting stories from the Bible.”
In this way, new friends can better understand the church and increase their sense of identity with the church.
8). Weather and safety tips
For outdoor activities, weather and safety are two very important issues.
LED display screens can display weather information in real-time, reminding everyone to pay attention to weather changes, “Current weather: sunny, temperature 25℃, please pay attention to sun protection.”
If the weather suddenly gets bad, it can also notify everyone in time to prepare.
At the same time, if there are safety matters that need attention, prompt information can also be displayed on the screen, “Please take care of your personal belongings, and leave in an orderly manner after the event.”
In this way, everyone can participate in the event more at ease without worrying about unexpected situations.
