Take Care Creative makes editable church graphics and templates for the people who do this work between everything else. We've been the volunteer on the slide roster, worked alongside the parish admin paid for fifteen hours a week, and helped out the priest who’s also the backup treasurer. We make bulletins, slide sets, postcards, and social tiles, designed for the rhythm of the church year and ready for your details.
Where this started
Take Care Creative started with a stack of slides updated at 11pm on a Saturday, more times than I can count.
I’m Brigitta, a graphic designer based in Melbourne. I've been working for over fifteen years in film and television, with clients including Disney and ABC Australia.
Alongside that, I’ve spent years as a volunteer designer in churches. That has meant Christmas slide sets, Advent postcards, conference branding nobody had a budget for, and the quiet weekly job of updating Sunday’s slides. I know what it’s like to be the person everyone assumes can whip something up.
Take Care Creative is what I wish someone had handed me back then: professional design, made for the real weekly needs of ordinary churches.
One last thing worth mention is that I have supplied Canva with Christian templates for over 5 years. In that time Ive racked up over 2 million downloads on my templates. So if you're looking for Canva templates, youre in safe hands here.
How we design
Properly editable. Change the church name, the readings, and the dates, and it’s ready. You won’t get locked files or flat images dressed up as templates.
Shaped by the church year. Our calendar follows the lectionary from Advent through to Ordinary Time. That makes our templates sit comfortably in Anglican, Uniting, Lutheran, Presbyterian, and Catholic parishes alike.
What we believe
We make these resources from a settled conviction that the gospel of Jesus is inseparable from justice, dignity, and belonging for all people. We affirm LGBTQIA+ people fully, in every part of the church’s life, ministry, and leadership. We hold women’s leadership in the church as a settled matter. As an Australian business, we’re committed to First Nations justice and Reconciliation, and we support the Church’s path toward truth-telling and treaty.
How we use AI
Every illustration, photograph, and visual element in our templates was made by a person. We don’t use AI image generators to create any of the artwork you see here.
We do use AI in other parts of the work, and we’d rather say so plainly. It helps with the business side, such as admin, planning, and drafting some of our written copy. It’s also built into the professional design software we work in, through tools like background removal, object selection, and image clean-up. Designing to a current professional standard without those tools isn’t realistic any more.
So the line we hold is this: AI can help us run the business and handle routine technical steps, but the art is made by people. The drawings were drawn, the photographs were taken, and every layout was designed by a human.
What we’re not
We’re not a media production house, a motion-background library, presentation software, an education resource or a church management platform.
If you’ve ever updated a slide five minutes before the service started, this is for you.
