Our faith is filled with examples of welcoming the stranger and the immigrant. As immigrant communities are increasingly under attack, we are inviting you to proudly proclaim welcome through a visible campaign. Created with help from our friends at the East Central Synod of the ELCA, your congregation is invited to download resources and proclaim your welcome both online and physically throughout your space.

Digital files include social media assets and files that can be downloaded and printed on banners, yard signs, window clings, and more. There are files in both English and Spanish. If you would like additional languages, to add your church logo, or other changes, reach out to us and we can provide you with files that can be edited.

Take it a step further and invite people to encourage local businesses, local non-profits, and others to share images of welcome. This is one way your congregation can stand with our immigrant neighbors.

What files are included in the download folder?

• Yard Signs (24 x 18 in)

• Window Clings (6.25 x 7.5 in)

• Vertical banners (38 x 78 in)

• Billboard (20 x 10)

• Instagram Stories (1080 x 1920 px)

• Facebook Covers - 2 versions (1640 x 924 px & 940 x 348 px)

• Facebook profile pictures (2048 x 2048 px)

Am I limited to only making the above items?

No! Please use these images in any way that works for your congregation. We invite you to use your imagination to spread the message of welcome across our communities.

How do I make banners, window clings, etc from these files?

We invite you to connect with a local printer to turn these files into physical assets that your congregations can use and distribute.

What if I would like to add my church logo, add an additional language (that I translate), or make other changes to these files?

Please reach out to us and we will assist to the best of our abilities. We are happy to share access to Canva files that you can edit to fit your needs.

Who designed these files?

Thank you to the East Central Synod of Wisconsin and Synod Design Coordinator, Jens Bringsjord for these designs! We appreciate your hard work and all the staff at ECSW - ELCA who supported this project!
