Sermon Graphics
Client: Westminster Presbyterian Church
Year: 2025-2026
Role: Branding. Design.
After receiving the series title, Scripture passages, and a summary of the message from the pastors, I develop a unique visual identity that captures the central theme of the series. From there, I design individual sermon graphics that each communicate a specific week’s message while remaining visually connected through a consistent system of typography, color, and imagery. That identity is then carried across every touchpoint, including livestream graphics, bulletins, social media, presentation slides, and other promotional materials, creating a cohesive experience from the first invitation to Sunday morning.
Visual Storytelling
Rather than relying on generic church imagery, each sermon graphic began with the message itself. I worked to identify a single visual metaphor that captured the heart of the sermon, creating designs that sparked curiosity while remaining theologically grounded and visually cohesive across each sermon series.
Between the Testaments
PROVIDED DETAILS:
Preaching the Apocrypha
Most Christians have never read the books tucked between the Old and New Testaments in many Bibles — the Apocrypha. But these texts were read widely in Jesus' world. They shaped the prayers, hopes, and imaginations of the people he walked among. This summer, as Westminster receives new pew Bibles that include the Apocrypha, we will spend three months in this hidden library.
The series frames the Apocrypha as context for the Gospel: the 400-year world between Malachi and Matthew, the literature that formed Second Temple Judaism, the books that make the New Testament more legible. Each Sunday pairs an Apocryphal text with a Gospel reading and an Old Testament reading.
A brief orientation to what the Apocrypha is and why our new Bibles include it will open the first sermon on June 7. The series is not an argument for treating these books as equal to the canon — it is an invitation to read what Jesus' neighbors read, and to ask what that opens up for us.
The Book
PROVIDED DETAILS:
Four Sundays on Scripture as On-Ramp to the Summer
Most Christians are familiar with the Bible as a fixed object — a book they hold in their hands. These four Sundays ask a different set of questions: How did this book come to us? What does it do to us when we read it together? How do we live inside it rather than merely alongside it? And what might be in it that we have not yet read?
May 31 (Pentecost) serves as the bridge sermon into the summer series, framing the Spirit's work as the key: if the Spirit has been moving through writers and communities across centuries, what might we find in the library we have not yet opened?
