What to include in a church event program
A church program for a special service or event should include: the name and type of the event (baptism, homecoming, revival, ordination), the date and time, the complete order of service, the names of speakers, candidates, or participants, and any scripture or liturgical elements specific to the occasion. Add your church name and contact details so the program serves as a record of the event.
How to adapt this template for different services
The same template adapts to many types of church programs. For a baptism Sunday, add a list of candidates and the baptism liturgy.

Frequently asked questions
What is a church program?+
A church program is a printed guide for a church service or special event — it lists the order of service, participants, scripture, and any event-specific details. Common church programs include bulletins for baptisms, homecomings, revivals, ordinations, and church anniversaries.
Can I use this template for a baptism service?+
Yes. Add the baptism candidates' names, the baptism liturgy, and the order of service. The template is fully editable — customize it completely for a baptism Sunday.
Does this template work for any denomination?+
Yes. All text is editable — update element names, labels, and sequence to match your tradition, whether Protestant, Catholic, Orthodox, or non-denominational.

Most church programs print on Letter size (8.5×11 in). Print single-sided for a one-page guide, or fold double-sided printing in half for a four-panel format.
