Church Signs: The beginning of a hobby. You know the ones. You see them on the highways and
byways all across the land. I get a kick out of the sayings they think up to put on
them. Plus their messages are also commentary on current social issues. As such,
viewing them is a way of taking the pulse of the nation. They are signs of the
times. So I got the notion of starting a
photo gallery of church signs at the bottom of this
page.
My format is to show each church sign as a pair of photos. One photo shows a close up shot of the church sign. The other shows the sign along with the church building so you can see its community setting. We do not sell church signs. But they are usually real nice signs. Check back often. I will be adding to my collection of church signs in an effort to bring you our country's wayside pulpit. The opinions expressed on the church signs are those of the churches shown. You can share my collection with your friends! Tell them to go to churchsignonline.com That domain name leads right to this page |

 This flag is kept here for historical interest. It was a custom job for a specific customer Copyright for the Flag of Mormon Heritage held by the designer 2006 |
We made a batch of
custom personal flags whose design and meaning
we found uniquely compelling. So much so, we asked its creator if he would like
to offer it to others. Here it is. While its designer is a Mormon and the flag's
symbolism derives from his faith and personal background, it needs to be well
understood that this flag has no official connection to The Church of Jesus
Christ of Latter Day Saints.
It is not "The Mormon Flag." To our knowledge, there is no official Mormon Flag.
The church makes no mention of one on its web site. This is a flag that
expresses our friend's Mormon heritage. Hence he calls it a "flag of Mormon heritage." Here is how he describes
his Mormon heritage flag's meaning: “A white field transversed by twelve dark blue bars, offset towards the hoist, at the center of which is a circular charge with a dark yellow sun having twelve rays. The use of the number twelve represents both the twelve Tribes of Israel, which will be restored in the last days, as well as the twelve apostles. The sun symbolizes Christ as the center of His church with His twelve apostles, both ancient and modern, as the guiding light to mankind. The sun also represents the celestial kingdom that we aspire to attain and the coming millennial rule of Christ on earth. As well, the use of the sun evokes the desert state of Utah as the central home of the Mormon religion. The circle represents the one eternal round of life, without beginning or end. The central device also evokes the image of a wagon wheel and thus reminds us of our pioneer heritage. “The color white represents purity of the heart – cleanliness of thought, word, and deed. It also represents the clarity of eternal truth. “The color blue represents the first gospel ordinances – Faith in Christ, Repentance, Baptism for the remission of sins and the Gift of the Holy Spirit. It also symbolizes the principles of truthfulness, chastity, benevolence, virtue, humility, sacrifice – striving to live a Christ-like life. “The color yellow represents the brightness of the noon-day sun, celestial glory.”
