Communication Resources

Thank you for partnering with us to communicate clearly, effectively, and consistently across all platforms. Whether you’re sharing a message with our congregation, promoting a school event, or reaching out to the wider community, we’ve created tools to help you design with confidence and clarity.

What do I need to know?

We’ve been working intentionally to streamline our communication materials so that everything we produce is immediately recognizable as part of Mount Calvary Lutheran. Consistency in our visual identity helps strengthen our message and mission.

Branding Approval

If you’re creating materials intended for the general public, it’s important that we maintain consistency and clarity. Before distributing any outward-facing designs, please submit them for review and approval. This helps ensure we stay aligned in both tone and appearance.
