A church email signature for your pastors and staff
Set the church name, logo and a shared line such as your service times once. Each pastor and staff member adds their own name, title and photo.
What to include
- Name with a title such as Rev., Pastor or Director, as the church uses it.
- The church name, logo and website.
- Phone and email for the church office.
- Service times or the address as a shared line under every signature.
- Church business only: IRS Publication 1828 keeps candidate endorsements out of official church communication.

- IRS Publication 1828: leaders speaking for themselves "are encouraged to clearly indicate that their comments are personal and not intended to represent the views of the organization."

- Diocese of Grand Rapids style guide: "do not include additional phrases, slogans, bible verses or quotes as part of your regular signature block." Diocese of Grand Rapids style guide
- Diocese of Charleston: its official email signature template ends with the diocese's mission statement, which cites Matthew 28:16-20, followed by a confidentiality notice. Diocese of Charleston signature template

One shared line for the whole church
The shared line under every signature is the company footnote, on the Up to 15 plan or larger, and a good home for service times or the church address. The church writes it once on Signatoro, and when the times change, everyone gets their updated signature by email to paste.
