Creating compelling church resources week after week — sermon series, kids curriculum, worship setlists, graphics — is expensive and time-consuming, especially for smaller churches with limited budgets and volunteer teams. Life.Church Open Network solves this by giving it all away for free: over 100,000 resources used by more than a million pastors, church planters, and leaders worldwide since 2006.^1
A ministry of Life.Church — the largest church in the U.S. by attendance (85,000 weekly across 46 campuses) — Open Network provides sermon outlines, message videos, kids and youth curriculum, worship music, creative media, small group materials, and leadership training, all produced by a staff that lives and breathes local church ministry.^3 The platform also features content from 45 partner organizations including BibleProject, Elevation Church, Alpha, Hillsong Leadership Network, Financial Peace University, and YouVersion.^4 In 2026, the library continues to grow with series like "Love Killers," "Book Club 2026," and "Is That In The Bible? | House of David," plus a new three-part training series on mental health in ministry called "Resilient Ministry."^5
Beyond resources, Open Network offers practical ministry training across 20 categories — from church planting and online ministry to worship, tech, and volunteers — plus a Facebook community group where leaders connect and share ideas.^7 Through YouVersion for Your Church, pastors can create a church profile inside the Bible App to engage their congregation with Plans, Events, and insights all week long.^2 The platform also powers Church Online Platform, a free tool for churches to host live and on-demand services, which celebrated its 20th anniversary in April 2026 with 85 million total attendees over two decades.^8
