Various Types Of Fabric Church Banners

Fabric church banners provide a great way for members to celebrate holidays, different seasons or religious events. There are a lot of types that feature a variety of images and phrases, as well as a lot of different kinds of fabrics that can be used to create them. Some folks like to make their own, while some choose to purchase them from a book or supply store or online or from a professional who will specially make them.

A banner may be put up in front of a church to help celebrate a season like Summer or Spring and might show some appropriate images like a sun or some flowers. These might be used as a decoration and might not have any real religious value. This kind of banner may be placed in a Sunday School room or in the lobby and serve as a decoration.

Other types of flags have more religious significance. For instance, some might have a religious icon on them such as a cross, a dove which is often used to symbolize the Holy Spirit or peace or a picture of a Bible. This type of banner can be used at any type of year and is often used merely as a decorative element or something that can help church goers focus on religious subjects.


A banner may also be created to celebrate a particular season on the religious calendar. For instance some of these might be themed for Christmas and could feature an image of the nativity scene. In the springtime, they might display a banner with an image of an empty tomb or a lily to celebrate Easter.

Some flags might also feature some church or Biblical based phrases. Scripture verses are very popular themes and motifs for flags and may include a whole passage or may include the reference such as giving the book, chapter and verse. "Praise the Lord" or "Hallelujah" and other encouraging phrases might also be included.

Finding a banner can be as easy as going to the local Bible book store or church supply place or a quick Internet search. But for a pastor or congregation looking for a specific type of banner, there are places where they can be specially ordered. They might even include the name of the congregation or could simply include the phrase or image alone.

Some folks may try to create a banner by themselves. A simple banner can be created by using felt and gluing or sewing smaller pieces of felt, fabric pieces and notions onto it. More complicated types can be created out of fabric that has been silk screened or can be printed on vinyl.

Fabric church banners come in a wide variety of colors, fabrics and sizes to serve a wide range of customers and to fit a wide range of interiors. They can be bought premade or they can be ordered with certain words or images on them or they can even be made by hand or specially ordered. They are a great way to relay encouraging icons, messages or can serve as a decoration.
