About
We've been designing for churches since 2018.
pixelchurch.co isn't a startup that discovered churches last quarter. It's the next chapter of PixelPainters, a studio that has spent seven years making sermon graphics for real congregations. 523,435 pieces so far. This page is the story of why we turned that library into a tool you can use yourself.

The story
How a studio became an engine.
- 1The studioPixelPainters opened in 2018 as a done for you design studio for churches. Sermon series, worship backgrounds, socials, event promo. A church graphic isn't decoration; it's the first thing a guest sees on the screen, and it tells them whether anyone here cared.
- 2The 9pm problemYear after year, the same scene: a volunteer or a bivocational pastor on Saturday night, building Sunday's slide in a free tool. Not for lack of taste. A studio was out of reach and the sermon was already written.
- 3The engineSo we did the thing only a studio with a seven year library could do: we trained a design engine on our own work and built pixelchurch.co on top of it. Describe your series in a sentence and it composes the whole kit the way our studio would.
What we believe
Four things we won't compromise.
- Your church shouldn't look like a template.
If a thousand churches used the same Canva file, it isn't design, it's wallpaper. Every style here was built from real studio work so your series looks like your church.
- Design for the room, not the feed.
The big screen is the main stage. Everything is composed for the projector first, legible from the back row, and the socials follow.
- A series is a kit, not an image.
One pretty picture leaves you with a dozen more jobs. We hand you the matched family: slides, backgrounds, socials, videos, week by week, en español.
- Built for the volunteer at 9pm.
No design degree, no learning curve, no judgment. If you can describe your sermon, you can ship Sunday.
The founder
Josh started PixelPainters in 2018 and has been making graphics for churches ever since. First by hand, one client at a time. Now with an engine trained on everything the studio learned along the way. He still reviews styles the way he reviewed client proofs: would this make a pastor proud to put it on the screen?
"We're not trying to replace church designers. We're trying to make sure the churches that could never afford one stop showing up to Sunday with a stock photo."
