EasyWorship began as a software solution for churches to amplify the worship experience from the sound booth to the stage. From bringing you the best church presentation software, worship media and customer support we can offer, we purpose to do everything with excellence and bring glory to God. 2005 is the Year of the Chicken, so decorate your computer with the Lunar (Chinese) Zodiac Chicken. This high-quality wallpaper comes in 6 resolutions to fit every screen resolution up to 2560x1600.
Years ago, as the Media Ministry leader for a local small church, I discovered free worship loops for Easyworship. What a refreshing change they were over static, single-colored backgrounds! Our members loved them, too.
I especially liked the nature scenes. Spring-themed blossoms, lush wooded paths and babbling brooks were my favorites.
In 2009 and 2010, Jesse Orndorff posted links to some great free worship loops and motion backgrounds for churches here on Church Website Ideas. For a long time, those two articles were the most popular posts on this blog!
But there was a problem. Things change fast on the interwebs.
Just five years after the original posts went live, nearly all of the links in those two posts either died or were no longer free.
So, here for your viewing pleasure, are 5 new church media sources. Together, these gracious servants have made more than 600 video loops, mini movies, motion backgrounds, and stills FREE and available to churches (or anyone else in search of high quality, free motion backgrounds).
Download and use these as worship backgrounds, website backgrounds, Powerpoint video backgrounds, or in whatever project a moving background will enhance and clarify the message.
Happy downloading!

Motion backgrounds can help worship sessions engage the audience and add a polished, professional feel to church presentations.
And they're not even too difficult to figure out. Adding motion backgrounds and other multimedia to your church presentations is straightforward with most modern church presentation software options.
But many churches have a limited media budget, which makes free motion backgrounds all the more appealing.
Background Media For Easyworship
Whether you're looking for free motion backgrounds for worship, announcements, or otherwise, you'll want to check out these sites.
When I put together this list, I tried to find sites that didn't require an account or a free trial to download the stock footage. Getting free motion backgrounds from most of these sites is as simple as clicking a button.
New Life Church Creative | 10+ free motion background sets
Zach Fonville and New Life Church Creative put together 10+ motion background sets. Each set (grouped by a common style or theme) includes multiple loops. These loops are really well designed and totally free—there's no sign-up or account requirement to download them.
Here are three of the background loop sets, to give you an idea of what's available:
MotionBackgrounds.co | 50+ free motion backgrounds
As of October 2016, MotionBackgrounds.co offers more than 50 free motion backgrounds. There's a fair amount of variety here—even a few season and event-specific video options. (Like this Christmas motion background and this Fall 5-minute countdown timer.)
There's no sign-up requirement to download these freebies, and, if you're looking for something specific, a wide variety of paid options are also available.
Videezy | 200+ free motion backgrounds
Videezy has more than 200 free background videos you can download without signing up or providing your email address.
One word of caution: this site uses some aggressive advertising tactics, and you might have to sift through the videos to find a high-quality option that matches what you're looking for.
IgniteMotion | free categorized motion backgrounds
IgniteMotion has free motion backgrounds and other video clips available in multiple categories, sorted by topic. The categories include clouds, fire, water, and more—there are even categories for each major holiday.
The categories are hidden in the top navigation bar. Once you find them, it's easy to see whether or not IgniteMotion has the motion background you're looking for.
Church Motion Graphics | free monthly worship backgrounds
Church Motion Graphics is primarily known for their paid motion backgrounds, which they put together in monthly 'mega packs.'
But they also provide free motion backgrounds to their email subscribers.
After you join their newsletter, you'll start getting the monthly free worship background. (Of course, you'll also have to expect other emails from CMG—they promise to send blog posts and product news as well.)
Dan Stevers | Free video loop packs
Dan Stevers offers several free video loop packs, including a countdown + motion sampler that includes four motion backgrounds, some stills, and two five-minute countdowns.
Stevers' other packs include a Good Friday collection and a winter-themed video pack.
Church Media Drop | 50+ free motion backgrounds
There are more than 50 free motion backgrounds available on Church Media Drop, and that number includes some high-quality options.
I appreciate how easy it is to preview these worship backgrounds—they're embedded as Vimeo videos right on the site.
No sign-up or email address is required to download these freebies.

Mitch Martinez offers a huge library of 4k stock footage separated into many different categories.
