Essential/Non Essential Plan Elements

Updated 18/2/26 by Jillian Galley

Essential Elements

While we welcome Bible Plans on an increasingly wide variety of topics, every Bible Plan needs to cover the same common ground. Your Plan’s Essential Elements help our Community discover your Plan and begin engaging with God’s Word.

Plan Title

In 50 characters or less, create a title that accurately reflects your Plan content and hooks your audience. Будь ласка, дотримуйтесь найпоширеніших настанов щодо назв для вашої мови. For English Plans, titles should be capitalized according to AP Style.

Plan Description

Help our Community understand what your Plan is about by describing it in 70 words or less. Explain what’s in your Plan and how someone can expect to grow by completing it—don’t advertise or include calls to action. 

Partner URL

Люди можуть дізнатися більше про вас або вашу організацію, натиснувши посилання на ваш веб-сайт. This link will appear in the Publisher section where we thank you for providing the Plan. Ви повинні надати це посилання під час подання вашого контенту.

Bible References

Scripture is central to YouVersion’s mission, and it is central to Bible Plans. Every Plan day must be built around at least one Bible verse or passage. Take the time to intentionally pick out several verses that are relevant to your Plan’s topic, and create Plan days centered on those passages.

Main Plan Pages

Bible Plan images provide visual appeal and help people decide what content they want to view next. You’ll need to provide two images for your Plan: a 1440x810 pixel banner image and a 320x320 pixel icon.

Because we serve a global Community, we ask that you submit images that a diverse audience can easily understand. While you can use your ministry’s original artwork, please avoid promotional images and book covers that might distract someone from your Plan content.

Optional Elements

Video or Audio

You can include video or audio in your Bible Plan if it helps someone connect your devotional content to Scripture. 

Please keep a video’s length at 5 minutes or less since most people will watch on their smartphones. 

Відео та аудіо файли повинні бути високої якості, без зернистості/пікселізації з максимальною роздільною здатністю 1080p. Ці файли також повинні бути вільними від реклами та продакт-плейсменту від будь-якого бренду.

Plan Day Images

Images can be included in the Plan day if they enhance your content, but they must be free from advertising, website links, or other distracting elements. You must upload your image to the Partner Portal during the submission process.

Narrated Audio

Narrated Audio gives our readers the ability to have the written content of your Bible Plans read to them. To include this component, the audio file you submit must be a professional, undistorted, word-for-word narration of your devotional content.

Call To Action (CTA)

A link to your ministry will already be in your Plan’s “Publisher” section, so please only feature one CTA when necessary, and always place it at the end of your Plan. You can pick from one of these CTA options for your last Plan day:

  1. Was this Plan helpful? We adapted this Plan from {another resource}.
  2. Хочете більше подібного контенту? Зв'яжіться з {Your Ministry or Name}.
  3. Дізнайтеся більше про {Your Ministry or Name}.
  4. Досліджуйте інші ресурси від {Your Ministry or Name}.
  5. Did this Plan encourage you? Ми хотіли б познайомитися з вами краще. Зв'яжіться з {Your Ministry or Name}.
