Custom Apparel for Churches & Ministries

Whether it's Sunday staff polos, a VBS week of camper tees, or 40 volunteer shirts for a Habitat build, the apparel your church puts on people is part of your mission. We print & embroider church apparel that reads professional, holds up to a summer of wear, and never comes with a minimum-order surprise — one shirt for the new intern, 200 for VBS, and free shipping on orders of $50 or more.

Customer story

"We ordered VBS shirts for 90 kids, staff polos for 12, and hoodies for the youth pastors — all in one week. Everything arrived on time, and the embroidery on our pastoral polos looks better than what we paid twice as much for last year."

FAQ

Do you offer discounts for 501(c)(3) churches?

Our pricing is already volume-tiered. For churches ordering annually across multiple events (VBS + retreats + staff replenishment), we can quote consolidated seasonal pricing on request. Email us with your 990 or letter of determination.

Can you print scripture references on shirts?

Yes — verse references, cross graphics, mission slogans, custom typography. We work with a lot of Christian camps and ministries; we know the visual language.

How far ahead should we order for VBS?

Ideally 3–4 weeks before your VBS week. That leaves room for proof revisions and 2–5 business days of ground shipping. Inside that window, rush production (2 business days) is $50 flat.

Can each mission-trip person get their name on the back?

Yes — names on each shirt are quoted per order before you pay. Send the roster with sizes and we'll quote it.

What if we need US-made blanks for a specific donor grant?

Ask before you order — we'll check which US-made blanks our supplier has in stock and quote them before you pay.
