A house of worship’s building and grounds are sacred spaces that congregants and visitors alike appreciate for their beauty and the feelings of peace they evoke. As such, every element should work together seamlessly to create an inviting, spiritually uplifting atmosphere. This includes your church’s outdoor custom monument sign, which makes a critically important first impression on all who pass by.
At Apex Signs & Graphics, our designers understand the monumental significance of crafting church signs that welcome visitors while accurately representing your house of worship’s unique identity and values. Our Laurel-based signage company has partnered with churches across the greater Hattiesburg, Laurel and Meridian areas to fabricate stunning custom signs. No matter your denomination, we can help you create an outdoor sign to make your church shine.
Benefits of Investing in a Custom Monument Sign for Your Church
Visible from the road, a well-designed monument sign serves as a beacon drawing people to your house of worship. The right sign communicates your church’s core messages at a glance, so people understand what you’re all about as they drive or walk past your building. It’s often the first impression you make on potential new members.
Great church signs feature designs and messages that align with your house of worship’s brand, style and personality. They express the feeling you want people to have when they visit your sacred space. Apex Signs & Graphics goes above and beyond to ensure your custom monument sign check off all the boxes, including:
Increased Visibility & Brand Awareness
With a tall, eye-catching sign situated close to the street on your property, people will notice your church more easily. The right design, logo, tagline and imagery make an impression, building brand recognition critical for attracting new members.
Quick Communication of Your Mission
From a distance, people should grasp your church’s denomination, mission and values. Exceptional signage uses color schemes, faith-based imagery, uplifting messages and other branding elements to achieve this goal.
Projection of Your Unique Identity
Through custom shapes, dimensions, materials and lighting choices, we design signs exuding your church’s one-of-a-kind personality. The options are endless when fabricating fully customized monument signs.
Display of Service Details
Your sign provides at-a-glance info about your house of worship, including denomination, service times, pastor’s name, website and phone number. Keeping these details updated ensures visitors have what they need to connect with your church.
A Warm, Welcoming First Impression
Above all, your church’s monument sign should make people passing by feel invited to come in. The style, messaging, materials and lighting should give off a warm, welcoming vibe aligned with your brand.
Designing Your Church’s Ideal Custom Monument Sign
With so much riding on your monument sign, you’ll want to get it right. Creating an exceptional church sign requires an iterative design process we’ve perfected by fabricating local houses of worship signage.
First, our team meets with you to discuss your church’s history, personality, denominational affiliation, events/programs and more. We’ll also evaluate your property, asking questions like:
- Where do you want your sign situated?
- What architectural style best complements your building?
- What size sign maximizes visibility for passersby?
- How do congregants and visitors typically arrive – by car, foot, etc?
Armed with this information, our creative team brainstorms concepts, generating design composites for your review and feedback. We’ll assess lighting needs, material options like stone and aluminum and discuss vital messaging. Expect plenty of back and forth until we nail down the perfect sign design and fabrication plan.
Getting your input throughout the process ensures your complete satisfaction. Our designers won’t quit until you have a stunning custom church sign you’re thrilled to showcase on your property for decades to come.
Customization Options for Complete Personalization
While style preferences vary, Apex Signs & Graphics can fabricate an exceptional church sign regardless of your budget, design aesthetic or site parameters. Our designers excel at developing creative solutions to challenging spaces, constraints and complex design requests.
We provide complete creative control over all elements of your custom sign, including but not limited to:
Shape & Dimensions
Do you prefer a traditional rectangular sign or unique asymmetrical silhouette? Monument signs come in all sizes, from compact to massive. We’ll determine ideal dimensions and orientation to maximize visibility on your property.
Materials
From sleek metals like aluminum to rugged natural stone and stained woods, material choice profoundly impacts aesthetics and durability. We’ll help select long-lasting, weather/UV-resistant materials to realize your vision.
Custom Graphics & Imagery
Incorporate faith-based graphics, your church logo, inspiring imagery and more. We print directly on materials or use dimensional lettering for 3D visual impact.
Messaging & Text Elements
We’ll craft succinct, welcoming messages aligned with your doctrine and target audience. Of course, all vital service details, like website and phone number, are included.
Lighting Solutions
Interior LED lighting makes your monument highly visible 24/7. We offer creative options like programmable color changes to tie sign illumination to holidays or events.
Installation Services
We handle permitting/approvals and professionally install your completed sign onsite, leaving no detail unchecked.
This broad range of customization options empowers houses of worship like yours to create an outdoor sign as unique as your congregation.

Caring for Your Monument Sign Investment
Once your stunning new monument sign is installed outside your house of worship, you’ll want to protect your investment with proper care and maintenance. We fabricate durable church signs to withstand Mississippi’s intense sunlight, storms and extreme temperature swings. However, signs do require periodic cleaning and upkeep.
Here are our best practices for keeping your church’s monument sign looking its best:
- Inspect for damage after severe weather. Promptly repair cracks, dents, etc. to prevent bigger issues. We provide repair services.
- Check all electrical components/bulbs if sign illumination fails. Replace burned out bulbs promptly to maintain visibility after dark.
- Clean sign face 2-4 times per year. Gently wash with a soft brush/sponge and mild, pH-neutral soap. Avoid harsh chemicals/pressure washing.
- For signs with landscaping, keep plants trimmed back from sign base and prune any overhanging tree limbs.
- Update message elements/event dates regularly to keep information accurate. We refresh sign graphics as needed.
