2025 Congregational Recognition & Banner Parade
New Format and Opportunities
General Assembly (GA) 2025 will be a multi-platform event, which means our traditional Banner Parade is transitioning to a new format: the Congregational Recognition & Banner Parade. This exciting change allows us to celebrate the diversity and unity of our congregations in a more dynamic way.
Here’s how you can get involved and have your congregation represented:
Submit up to two High-Resolution Photos of Your Banner or Congregation
You can submit a high-resolution image of your congregation’s banner and/or another representative image, such as a group photo. Please follow the guidelines below for submission:
- Accepted File Types: JPG or PNG (no PDFs, please)
- Resolution: We encourage you to submit the highest quality photo possible.
- Up to Two Images: You may submit up to two images for consideration—one of the banner and one of your congregation (group photo, etc.).
All submitted photos will be added to our image library for inclusion in future exhibits and videos, in addition to being featured during GA 2025.
To submit your photos, please use the GA Congregational Recognition & Banner Form 2025.
Bring Your Banner to Baltimore
We also invite you to bring your congregation’s banner to Baltimore, where it will be on display during the GA week in the Convention Center. The banners will be showcased around the registration and relaxation areas, offering attendees a chance to admire and explore the many congregations that make up our association.
We look forward to celebrating the vibrant diversity of our community at General Assembly 2025, both virtually and in person. We can't wait to see your banners and images as part of this exciting evolution of our tradition!
