7 Custom Church Banner Ideas For Portable Churches
Church Banners help elevate your decor and create a custom feel to your portable church's foyer or entrance, auditorium, worship center, chapel, sanctuary, and children's ministry areas, especially as a portable church.
We understand that your challenges are different, from having to set up and tear down your space each week to showing up to find out that the last person to use the space didn't clean up or left a door locked that's supposed to be unlocked.
Whether your portable church is meeting in a high school gymnasium, movie theater, college classroom, library, shopping mall, or another church building, we know that flexibility and visibility are keys to making portable church happen, and your indoor church banners and outdoor signs play a bit part.
7 Ideas for Custom Church Banners for Portable Churches
Custom Church Banners To Cover a Large Wall Space
Cover up indoor elements of your space that make it feel like something other than your church. A Photobooth backdrop or information center banner can cover the movie posters that might be a distraction or the trophy case that might be a throwback to "Awkward High School Phase" for some people.
Since you'll want a welcome center or photo opp location around your church space anyway, strategically order custom banners that are the right size to visually block areas that aren't don't line up with being at your church. If you'd like to change this sign more often, print and customize this sign to promote upcoming events.
The most common fabric and sign combination are stretch banners categories in multiple sizes since they show well in photos without wrinkles. You can customize the artwork on both sides for different applications, and the fabric printing results in bright, vivid colors.
For more frequent changes or flexibility, considering a vinyl banner with grommets, but be aware that the reflective nature of vinyl means they're not the best church banners for a photo backdrop.
Table Throws For Your Portable Church
Tables can be used for many purposes, not just for registration and sign-in or as a surface to display your gifts for guests, but also as a non-threatening barrier (nobody is walking through a table that blocks a hallway) or helping control the flow of traffic to your kids' area. Post a first impressions team member at a table that blocks 2/3rds of hallways doors, and you'll have a friendly way to control who goes in and out of that space.
Table throws are vibrant and can be customized with artwork and designs to match your church's style. They can be set up in just a few seconds, make a big impact in any space, and store easily.
A-Frame (or Sandwich Board) Signs for your Portable Church
With interchangeable inserts, your A-Frame signs can be flexible enough to make a last-minute switch. Pull out the coroplast insert and put in a pre-printed replacement to point people to another entrance or a different classroom. A-frames fold flat, making them great displays for storage and transportation, and are weather-resistant in high wind or rain and easy to move in a pinch.
Customize multiple inserts for arrows pointing each direction, your mid-week youth service, your kids' classroom directions, and switch out the inserts as needed.
Roll-Up Church Banners
Roll-up church banners are great for providing more detailed indoor information, like arrows to multiple locations from right inside your front door (like kids check-in, restrooms, and auditorium). With a few arrows, roll-up banners can easily set up in less than a minute, then roll away to a small and portable size right inside their own metal banner stands that are durable to transport to another location.
While vinyl roll-up church banners are economical, flexible, and durable, they are best suited for indoor applications. They can act like a sail outdoors and can tip easily when windy.
Flag Church Banners (like Feather flags, Teardrop, or Rectangle Banners)
Feather flags (and other shapes) are perfect for grabbing attention outdoors as their slim fabric creates movement in even the slightest outdoor breeze. They're perfect for marking entrances in a shared parking lot (like a movie theater at the mall) or marking specific entrances in a large parking lot.
They can easily stake into grass or landscaping areas, and with the optional flat base, they can also sit on concrete or be moved indoors to grab big attention in a small space as feather flags come up to 13 feet tall!
Portable Church Event Tents
Have our team create a free custom design for your outdoor event tent to welcome guests to your location. Easy to disassemble and compact, they'll provide a big impact and plenty of shade as you're welcoming guests, giving them a gift from your church, and asking them to fill out their kids' check-in information or your connect card. Vibrant colored fabric toppers won't fade in the sun and provide an easily noticeable "go-to" location if anyone has a question since they sit about the height of the cars in your parking lot.
In colder seasons, bring your event tent inside and adjust the height so you can still be clear with your guests where they're supposed to go to get their gift or use that space as an "Information Center" as a place to register for events in your announcements after service.
Semi-Permanent Vinyl Church Banners
If it's an option at your location, a vinyl banner on 2 posts in the ground or hung on the side of a building is a great way to let people in the community know that your church meets at that location on Sundays, or customize your stock printed banner to invite people to church online.
Durable for all weather conditions, vinyl is also easy to move and store if you decide to change out your banner regularly and reuse previous vinyl banners. We recommend regularly changing the look of your semi-permanent outdoor vinyl banners so that people passing by notice there's something different every so often.
This is a great outdoor display banner to promote an upcoming event, your current sermon series, or print your logo, website, and service times and hang it virtually anywhere with grommets.
