Banners for Christ was formed in August 2005 as part of the DCFI Praise and Worship services. In Isaiah 13:2, banners we used to signify were the battle was to be and the armies knew where to go from any directions. “Lift up a banner on the high mountain, raise your voice to them; wave your hand that they may enter the gates of the nobles.”

We use banners and streamers at DCFI to lead the praisers into worship. Each banner has its own significance as well as the praise streamers. Banners at DCFI are a vision given from God; they are made three at a time to signify the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

Colors and symbols on each banner have their own meanings:

• Trumpet: the Call to Worship
• Crown: Christ the King
• Hearts: Devotion
• Heart with a cross: God’s Love
• Crown: God’s Reign
• Descending Dove: Grace and Forgiveness
• Descending Dove with Fire: the Holy Spirit
• Dove with an Olive Branch: Peace
• Lilies: the resurrection
• Palm Branches/Lily: Triumph over Death
• Palm Branches alone: Victory
• Three Candles or a budded cross or a circle entwined with a triangle: Trinity
• One candle: Unity
