Watch NowFrequently Asked Questions
Is Open Network really free?
Yes! Everything on Open Network is free. There’s no subscription, no paid tier, and no trial period. Life.Church covers the cost so churches don’t have to.
Have these resources been used in a real church service?
Yes, all of them were built by churches for churches. When you download a sermon series, kids curriculum, graphic, or HR document, it has already been used in a real church.
What’s included when I download a sermon series?
A series on Open Network typically includes sermon transcripts or outlines, series artwork sized for screen and social, message slides, bumper video, and discussion questions.
How do churches adapt Open Network resources for their own church?
Most files on Open Network are editable and customizable. You can rewrite the text, replace the photos, and adjust the design so it fits your church’s name, style, and context.
Why does Life.Church give ministry resources away?
Because we weren’t meant to do this alone. Ministry leaders are short on time and budget, and starting from a blank page every week costs more than money. Open Network has been free since 2006 and will stay free.
