We carry the Episcopal Church flag, the United Methodist Church flag, the Presbyterian flag, and the Jewish worship pennant, among others. For Catholic parishes, we carry the Papal flag — yellow and white fields. Indoor parade sets with matching poles and fringe are available for denominations that do formal processionals.
Display etiquette for religious flags is worth getting right. Inside a worship space, the general principle is that the Christian flag is in the position of honor within the church, while the U.S. flag is to the congregation’s left. The specifics vary by denomination — the Episcopal Church, for example, has its own guidelines that differ slightly from Protestant custom. We’ve helped enough parishes and posts sort this out over the years that we can usually give you a straight answer.
The most common ordering mistake is getting the wrong mount configuration. A flag for indoor display needs a pole hem, not grommets. A flag for outdoor display needs grommets. If you’re replacing a flag you already have, look at how the current flag is mounted and order the same configuration.
For post installations — VFW halls, American Legion posts, and similar organizations that display the U.S., service, and Christian flags together — we can help you work out the right sizes and configurations so everything matches and the display looks right.
Frequently Asked Questions About Religious Flags
What is the correct display order for religious and civil flags in a church?
Inside a church, the Christian flag is traditionally placed to the congregation's right (which is the speaker's or minister's left). The U.S. flag, when displayed in a church, goes to the congregation's left. Outside a church building, civil flag protocol applies: the U.S. flag takes precedence and should be flown in the position of honor. The Christian flag never supersedes the national flag outside a place of worship.
Which religious flags do you stock?
We carry the Christian flag, the Episcopal Church flag, the United Methodist Church flag, the Presbyterian Church flag, the Jewish worship pennant, the Papal flag (yellow and white fields for Catholic parishes), and select other denominational flags. For denominations not listed, call us — we can often source flags for specific faith communities within a few days.
Do religious flags need grommets or a pole hem?
It depends on the use. A flag for outdoor pole display needs brass grommets. A flag for indoor ceremonial display on a floor stand needs a pole hem (a sleeve sewn along the hoist edge). Indoor flags are often displayed with fringe for a more formal appearance. The most common ordering mistake is getting the wrong mount configuration — if you're not sure what your space requires, call us before ordering.
Do you carry indoor ceremonial flag sets with poles and fringe for churches?
Yes. Indoor parade sets — the flag on a ceremonial pole with gold fringe, in a floor stand — are available for the most common denominations. These are appropriate for sanctuary display, formal processionals, and fellowship halls. Call us for the right configuration for your specific worship space.
What sizes are religious flags available in?
The Christian flag and most denominational flags are stocked in 3×5 for outdoor use and in the indoor parade configuration (typically 3×5 or 4×6 with pole hem and fringe). For custom sizes or unusual configurations, call us.
