Funny church signs for the win!

Going into a house of worship is no laughing matter … or is it? One look at these funny church signs and you may not be so sure. While we know one’s personal relationship with God is more serious than silly, nothing lightens the mood and makes you actually want to go to church like some good old-fashioned humor—even if that means you might be taking a trip straight to you-know-where. Kidding!

Hey, God created humor too, and we’re just enjoying his good works. That includes dark humor, funny tombstones and funny obituaries, not just the inspiring and wholesome stuff. The best jokes, of course, are things we can all relate to, and these church-themed short jokes hung right in front of houses of worship definitely qualify. Just try to keep a straight face when you read them—we dare you.
