Every year around October, an annual theme is determined for North Valley Baptist Church. I’m not writing this post to discuss the value of church themes (I think they are great); there are other websites for that. However, I do hope to be a help for those that are determining their church (youth, camp, class, etc.) theme and would like some ideas.
I am in no way an expert at designing logos (as you will see below), but for the past 10+ years I’ve had the privilege of creating the logo and the look for the annual theme. I’ve also had very talented and gifted people to help me along the way. I’ve listed 25 years of North Valley Baptist Church themes.
Below are just a few of the graphics from the past 10 years. Every year we create many designs, and I’ve just included a few of the logos, bulletins, banners, calendars and other miscellaneous items. Warning! Some of the designs are hideous…you’ve been forewarned.

Most of the time there are many iterations of the logo. I’ve included some of the ideas for this past year below. iBelieve, it wasn’t the easiest logo.
By the way, here is a post on Creating an Annual Church Theme/Logo.
Do you have church themes? I would love to hear the themes your church has used in the comments below!
