Church lighting

A lit church is a landmark for the whole town

In most Central Illinois towns, the church steeple is the tallest thing on the skyline, and in December a lit steeple and sanctuary roofline become the landmark people navigate by. We light churches of every size, from the brick sanctuaries on the courthouse squares of Monticello, Paxton and Charleston to large campuses in Champaign and Bloomington, and we schedule installs and maintenance around Advent services, concerts and Christmas Eve.

Church accounts include a design visit, a fixed quote, a certificate of insurance, lifts for steeples and tall rooflines, season-long maintenance and January removal. Many congregations fund the display through a memorial or sponsorship, and we are glad to help with that.

Typical church displays

  • Steeple outlined in warm white with a lit cross or star
  • Sanctuary roofline and gable outline
  • Entry with garland, wreaths and lit columns
  • Nativity area with soft uplighting
  • Trees wrapped along the drive and lot
  • Fellowship hall and school buildings on a campus

Timing around Advent

We install in November so the display is on for the first Sunday of Advent, run it on timers that match evening services and concerts, maintain it through Christmas Eve and Epiphany, and remove it in January on a date you choose.

What Central Illinois homeowners say

  • Our lights were amazing. Lights were done quickly and efficiently. When the season was over he was back to take them down just when he said he would. We have had him put our lights up for several years and will continue to! Highly recommended.

  • We just had our lights installed by Midwest Holiday Lighting on Thanksgiving day. We just called them and let them know we would like them to do our light install and they worked us in quickly. They were very friendly, knowledgeable, courteous, and patient. We love the holiday lighting they installed on our house and will use them for years to come. They provided all the materials, completed the install quickly, and will store the lights for us during the off season. I added the wreath last minute and they had all the supplies to install it. We could not be happier with Tom and his crew and the job they did installing our lights. Thank You Midwest Holiday Lighting for making our holidays feel more merry and our home look brighter! Enjoy!
