22 Ridiculously Funny Church Signs Guaranteed to Make You Chuckle

There are many Southern traditions that revolve around going to church, like after-church potlucks, “ church hair,” church hats and Bible camp. Yes, there are some pretty bizarre Southern church traditions (sometimes it’s more of a social event or fashion show), but churches everywhere have found a way to make church a little funnier. Instead of filling their street signs with church times, event details, or holiday greetings, these churches decided to make jokes and jabs using their signs. Whether these church signs make you roll over laughing, raise your eyebrows, or say, “that’s tacky,” you can’t deny the creativity and cleverness. What would you do if your church put up some of these signs? Or better yet, what would Mama say?
