Custom Church Tees

Custom Church Tees — Built for Churches by Real Humans

Whether you're outfitting a summer camp, a Vacation Bible School class, a mission trip team, or a Sunday volunteer crew, we print every shirt in-house at our Houston, TX facility. We've been printing apparel for churches and youth ministries since 1979 — Gildan, Port & Company, Comfort Colors, Bella+Canvas — using DTF, screen printing, or embroidery. Real human service from a named contact who knows your design and your deadline.

What we print for churches

• Camp shirts — themed designs for summer camps, weekend retreats, and themed weeks (mountain, beach, no-tech, etc.)
• VBS / Vacation Bible School tees — bright designs that match the year's theme, kid sizes through adult
• Mission trip apparel — team identification shirts for domestic and international mission trips
• Ministry team uniforms — coordinated tees for worship teams, youth leaders, Sunday volunteers, ushers, greeters
• Capital campaign or anniversary apparel — milestone shirts for church anniversaries, building campaigns, "We Built This" merch

How custom church tee ordering works

1. Pick your shirt and decoration method — DTF for full-color designs, screen printing for high-volume, embroidery for ministry team polos. Browse styles below or call us for a recommendation.
2. Send us your design — vector files (.ai, .eps, .pdf) work best, but high-resolution PNG or JPG also works. Canva exports are fine — we'll let you know if anything needs adjustment.
3. Approve a digital proof — we send a proof within 24 hours. Show your pastor, your team, your kids — get sign-off before we print.
4. We print, you receive — most orders ship within 7-10 business days from proof approval. Free shipping nationwide.

Frequently asked questions

What's the minimum order for custom church tees?
No minimums — order one shirt or thousands. Volume discount tiers apply on larger orders.

When should we order custom tees for summer camp?
For mid-June camps, place your order by mid-May at the latest to allow proof approval (24 hours), production (7-10 business days), and shipping. Earlier is better, especially for kid-sized orders that may need size-mix coordination.

Can I order custom tees for kids and adults in the same order?
Yes — we routinely fulfill orders with mixed kid, youth, and adult sizes. Just let us know the breakdown.

What file formats work for custom church tee designs?
Vector files (.ai, .eps, .pdf) print best. We also accept high-resolution PNG, JPG, or PDF. Canva exports work — send what you have and we'll let you know if we need anything different.

Can you match a specific theme color (like our church brand color)?
Yes. Send a Pantone reference or a hex code, and we'll match as closely as the printing method allows.

Do you offer monogramming or individual names?
Yes — we frequently embroider individual names on ministry team apparel and student leader tees.

Do you ship custom church tees outside Texas?
Yes — we ship for free to anywhere in the lower 48. Most of our church customers are outside Houston.

Beyond tees — branded apparel for churches

Need more than shirts? We also embroider custom caps for ministry team leaders and camp counselors, embroidered polos for staff and elders, hoodies for cooler-weather youth events, and branded bags and totes for VBS. Mix and match into one order to hit volume tiers across the catalog.
