Christian Flag History

Some ways of idealizing the kingdom of God may be suggested by analogy from the development of patriotism and loyalty to one’s country.

Use the flag as the symbol of all that our country signifies. The flag is displayed, treated with dignity, and saluted because it represents our ideal country. It engenders loyalty when its meaning is understood and respected. For idealizing the Kingdom, there can be no better method than using a symbol, and we have no hesitancy in recommending the Christian flag. There have been a number of attempts to secure the general adoption of a symbol of the Kingdom. The church flag, the chaplain’s pennant (for use onboard government vessels during religious services), the Conquest flag, and the Christian flag have been used.

The Christian flag originated on September 26, 1897, at a "Rally Day" in the Sunday school at Brighton Chapel, Coney Island. A speaker had been engaged but failed to reach the meeting on time. Always ready to meet emergencies, Mr. Charles C. Overton, who then had charge of that school, undertook to give an extemporaneous talk. Not having prepared anything special, he took for his text the American flag, which chanced to be draped over one corner of the pulpit. While he was speaking, inspiration seemed to come to him.

Why, thought he, should we not have a flag for our Sunday schools and churches? Before he sat down, he had outlined to the audience a plan for such a Christian flag which should not be restricted by any geographical boundaries but would remind all men of their allegiance to God just as their national flag reminds them of their neighbors. Drawing upon his imagination, he pictured a flag, the field of which would be white, the color for purity, innocence, and peace. White is recognized as the flag of truce on every battlefield, and as soon as a flag of this color is seen, the cannon’s roar is silenced. In the corner of his white flag, Mr. Overton proposed deep blue, the color of the unclouded sky, the symbol of faith, trust, and sincerity, and on this a red cross, the recognized emblem of sacrifice, Christianity’s central doctrine, and life.

Such a firm hold did his own suggestion take that Mr. Overton immediately had a flag made corresponding with the one he had described, and on the following Sunday, this was draped over the other corner of the pulpit, alongside the American flag. This first Christian flag was made by Mr. Annin, a well-known flag manufacturer of New York, who has done much to aid Mr. Overton in securing the wide adoption of the flag for the purpose for which it was conceived.

Its use increased by leaps and bounds. It is found in nearly every city and village in the United States and has spread across the seas until it has encircled the world. The Christian flag is not patented and is free from commercialism. Anyone may manufacture it, and it may be used on all proper occasions.

Christian flags may be displayed at conventions, conferences, church demonstrations, and parades, and the American flag may be used for general decorative purposes. For boys’ and girls’ societies and clubs and for the church school, especially on program occasions, the two flags may be presented and saluted.

For the American flag, most boys and girls know the following salute:

"I pledge allegiance to my flag and to the country for which it stands, one nation indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.” - (1917 Version)

For the Christian flag, the following salute is appropriate:

"I pledge allegiance to my flag and to the Saviour for whose kingdom it stands, one brotherhood, uniting all mankind in service and love."

The Christian flag had been in existence for more than eleven years before a pledge of allegiance for it came into existence. The author was conducting a conference of Sunday school workers in Brooklyn when he was interrupted by the Rev. Lynn Harold Hough with the suggestion that a pledge of allegiance be prepared for use in saluting the Christian flag, just as the well-known pledge of allegiance was so effectively used in the case of the American flag.

Dr. Hough was asked to prepare such a pledge and, while the meeting was still in session wrote the salute as it is printed above. This pledge was used for the first time by the author on Christmas Eve, 1908, in the Third Methodist Episcopal Church, Long Island City, New York, of which Mr. Hough was the pastor. Patriotic loyalty and self-sacrifice are common topics. The Christian flag bears no symbol of warfare or conquest. It is equally significant to all nations. It stands for no creed nor denomination but for Christianity. It is a banner of the Prince of Peace, and the Christian patriot who salutes it pledges allegiance to the kingdom of God.

Frequently Asked Questions

This is the most common question asked in the industry and the most difficult to answer. No two flags will wear the same due to weather conditions and how often the flag is flown. Our flags offer the best stitching and highest quality materials to get your flag off to a great start.

Do not hang a flag where the wind will whip it against rough surface, such as tree branches, wires or cables or the outside of your home or building. Inspect your flags regularly for signs of wear. Repair any minor rips or tears right away this can be mended easily with a sewing machine or sewing kit. Keep the surface of the pole free of dirt, rust or corrosion that could damage or stain your flag.

We recommend that you hand-wash your flag with mild soap, rinse thoroughly and air dry. You can also use a dry cleaning service.

Exposing your flag to rain, wind, snow or high winds will shorten the life of your flag considerably. If you leave your flag exposed to the elements, it will greatly reduce the life of your flag.

Yes, as long as your pole is large enough to support the weight of the flags. The USA Flag must always fly at the top. The flag underneath should be at least one foot lower and be one size smaller than the USA Flag. Flags of other countries are not to be flown beneath the USA Flag.

If your flag is significantly faded, torn or tattered it is time to retire your flag. Your flag should be retired privately in a dignified manner. In addition, many local community organizations have flag disposal centers that will dispose of your flag for you.

Shipment error corrected

I ordered a Christian flag. But, was mistakenly sent an American flag.
I contacted USA Flag Co. and they quickly sent a replacement Christian flag. Good customer service! Hard to find these days . . .

I love sharing my faith with the world. I just wish the material was a bit more rugged to stand up against the wind. I had to repair the flag a few times with my sewing machine along the borders but the main part of the flag is starting to fray through to holes forming.

Excellent Quality

My last Christian flag purchased from another company only lasted 4 months before becoming tattered. When comparing the old flag with the new USAFlagCo. Chrisitan flag, the difference in quality was very obvious. The USAFlagCo. Christian flag was of higher quality material and stitching. I am positive that this flag will last much longer.
