A successful and meaningful worship experience typically takes a lot of preparation and planning, not to mention incorporating popular fall media. Waiting until the last minute to craft a sermon and find media to compliment is extremely uncommon for media teams and pastors. While there may be the occasional adjustment made the night before, many worship experiences that people witness have been in the works for a long time! It’s always beneficial to plan for different topics, seasons, and holidays. That’s why the Shift Worship team has compiled our most popular, high-quality media that you can use for your Fall service.
Why Use Fall-Themed Church Media?
At the end of Spring and the beginning of Fall, students are going back to school, routines are back in place, and everyone is looking forward to (hopefully) cooler weather. With students going back to school, it’s a great time to encourage people to come back to church, and invite new guests too!
With new and familiar faces venturing to church, it’s a good idea to showcase stunning visuals that show guests that you (as a collective church), are looking for ways to stay modern while sharing important messages. Fall-themed media can help create relevance with the current season, create excitement for church events, and create a warm and welcoming atmosphere.

Top Downloaded Fall Countdowns
It’s no secret that putting together a Sunday service requires a decent level of hospitality. Like any good host, you greet guests when they first arrive, point out the restrooms, and help them find a comfortable place to sit. But now what? You might be too busy to entertain guests before service begins, and it might feel awkward to let them sit there. Take the pressure off hosting expectations by sharing a countdown! Countdowns exist to indicate to everyone the amount of time they have before the service begins. The countdowns found at Shift Worship are set against dynamic visuals with background music, making it the perfect resource to bring attention to the worship experience and keep everyone on schedule.
Recently, Shift Worship has introduced Trivia countdowns that boost pre-service engagement and learning. Encourage guests to answer the questions, and receive the answers instantly!
Autumn Colors Trivia Countdown

Favored Fall-Themed Mini Movies
Mini movies add something special to your Sunday services. They are short visuals that are great to use as a worship intro, sermon bumper, call to action, or closing video. Some include voiceovers, words on screen, spoken text, live-action, cartoons, peaceful visuals – you name it! Head to Shift Worship now to find one that fits your needs.
Two Lists
This mini movie is great for guiding your congregation into a time of reflection. Focusing on the book of Numbers, this mini movie walks viewers through the thought process that the ancient Israelites had after they were freed from slavery. The Israelites were more focused on what they did not have, versus the provisions that God had blessed them with. Instead of judging the Israelites, this movie calls for guests to reflect and shed light on blessings from God they are taking for granted.
Give Thanks
Create a sense of gratitude during service by sharing the Give Thanks mini movie! A dynamic background of aerial footage over a fall forest, paired with reflective music, is perfect for emphasizing the importance of giving thanks to God. Psalms 118 encourages guests to focus on God’s goodness and to be grateful for all the blessings in their lives.
Thanksgiving Prayer
This mini movie features light, but energizing background music and a powerful prayer displayed on screen. The text on screen lists all the blessings and gifts from God, encouraging themes of thankfulness and gratitude. This visual is perfect for emphasizing the importance of acknowledging God’s presence and the blessings He provides. Great to use during your Thanksgiving services or any time you want to focus on gratitude!
