Is Your Church Ready for YouTube’s 2026 Algorithm?

It’s 2026, and YouTube has changed how churches get discovered online. Are your sermons, series, and church videos actually being found, or are they getting buried? In this video, I break down what churches must understand about the 2026 YouTube algorithm, including: Why sermon series now outperform single messages How binge-watching impacts church growth and return viewers Why TV viewership matters more than phones and desktops How chapters boost discoverability in Google Search What YouTube looks for in thumbnails, branding, and authenticity How to use AI wisely without looking sloppy or inauthentic Why Shorts + long-form sermons + podcasts work together New collaboration and sponsor tools YouTube is testing in 2026 If you’re starting a new church YouTube channel, or trying to grow your online ministry, this video will help you align your content with how people actually watch sermons today. 👉 The goal isn’t chasing trends — it’s helping people encounter the Word, stay engaged, and come back week after week. If this helps your ministry, like, subscribe, and share it with another church media team.
