What type of QR code works for church?
Use QR codes at churches and places of worship to share service times, donation links, event sign-ups, and sermon recordings. The most flexible approach is a URL QR code linking to a page that hosts your church content — menu, form, PDF, social profile, or any other resource.
For one-time use: a free static QR code works fine. For ongoing use — especially if your content or destination might change, or if you want to see how many people scan — a dynamic QR code is the right choice.
