Frequently asked questions

How long should a church sermon be?

Most church sermons run 20–45 minutes depending on denomination and tradition. This timer allocates 30 minutes for the sermon, which is a comfortable middle ground. Shorter sermons (15–20 minutes) work well for contemporary services, while traditional services may extend to 40–45 minutes. The key is consistency — congregations appreciate knowing what to expect.

How can a timer help keep church services on schedule?

A discreet timer on a tablet or confidence monitor lets the pastor, worship leader, and A/V team stay synchronised without visible clock-watching. Color-coded segments signal transitions so the band knows when to prepare, the tech team can queue slides, and ushers can prepare for the offering or altar call.

Can I customise this for different service formats?

This timer covers a standard 75-minute Protestant service format. For Catholic mass, Orthodox liturgy, or contemporary services with different structures, use TimedFlow's professional mode to add, remove, or reorder segments. You can also adjust individual segment durations to match your church's tradition.
