American-Made Church Supplies | Buy USA-Made Hymn Boards, Communion Cups & More

Church administrators are tasked with being good stewards of the tithes and budgets entrusted to them. They must spend wisely while keeping their churches supplied with high-quality products. At the same time, many churches want to ensure their purchasing decisions reflect their values; which often includes supporting American-made products.

There are a number of reasons churches may want to look for products and supplies made here in America. Reasons can include avoiding tariffs, supporting U.S. workers, or simply buying local. Buying American-made products also ensures quality, reliability, and support for local economies. Churches have excellent options when it comes to American-made supplies, from hymn boards and communion hardware to candles and gluten-free communion hosts, all crafted here in the USA. However, it can be tricky to know which products are truly American-made. Here is a guide to opportunities to buy American-made products for your church.

American-Made Hymn Boards and Number/Letter Slides

One of the highlights in the category of hymn boards is the American-made Flynn Manufacturing hymn boards. Flynn proudly produces their hymn boards and several other products at their facility in Michigan. The Flynn Manufacturing Catalog states:

All boards are made of high-quality oak veneer plywood that will not warp or crack, with solid oak slotted divider strips and a raised oak cross. Finished in light or dark stain to bring out the beauty of the wood.

Flynn also offers one of the widest ranges of hymn board slides, from standard numbers and letters to specialized sets tailored to church use. They even provide custom hymn board slides, which are rare in today's market. All of their slides are built to last, featuring bold white lettering on heavy Bristol stock with a durable black background. According to Flynn, their range of hymn boards are all made in America, the hymn board slides are printed here, even the Bristol board is made in Michigan.

U.S.-Crafted Chalices and Communion Hardware

For communion vessels such as chalices, patens, and ciboria, Alviti Creations offers a respected line of American-made products. Based in Massachusetts, Alviti has built its reputation on high-quality craftsmanship. Many of their chalices feature 24K gold, silver plating, or their patented Brite-Star finish, and some include sterling silver cups for added durability and beauty. Many pieces are made to order; expect a slightly longer turnaround time on made-to-order items, but with the upside of meticulous workmanship and affordable prices.

Alviti proudly marks items made in the USA on their website. Customers can also look for an Alviti SKU beginning in A- or B-; or a CFaithS.com SKU beginning with ALV-A- or ALV-B- to ensure that the product is made here in the US.

Communion Bread Made in America

When it comes to altar bread and wafers, World Communion Product is a leader in American-made options. More than just a manufacturer, they embrace a second-chance hiring model, providing jobs for individuals rebuilding their lives. Their wafers are baked, packaged, and shipped in the U.S., ensuring freshness and reliability.

They also offer affordable gluten-free options, allowing churches to extend hospitality to every member of the congregation. If your church is looking to introduce gluten-free options, or even transition fully, World Communion Product may be one of the most viable suppliers, with more size options than most competitors and pricing often seven to ten times lower than alternatives.

Pre-Filled Communion Cups (Made in the U.S.)

For congregations that value convenience and hygiene, pre-filled communion cups are a reliable option. Two trusted names are World Communion Product and Broadman Church Supplies. Both companies make their pre-filled communion cups entirely in the U.S.

Broadman Church Supply is another American company making many of their products in the U.S. The Broadman pre-filled communion cup offers high quality at a reliable price. They have become so widely used that their product name--Fellowship Cup--has become synonymous with the pre-filled communion cup.

Pre-Filled communion cups are individually sealed, which helps reduce preparation time while maintaining a superior level of freshness. They are available in multiple pack sizes to fit small congregations and large services alike.

Pre-filled communion cups boast:

• Sealed, single-serve juice and wafer (or wine and wafer)
• Options available for juice or wine only (no wafer)
• Gluten Free options available
• Filled and sealed in the U.S.; in cups made in the U.S.
• Multiple pack sizes for small services or high-attendance Sundays
• Simple, quiet film-peel design for reverent distribution

Pews and Pew Supplies (U.S.-Made)

Church pews are almost always custom-built domestically, with regional woodshops across the country still producing pews to order. You can obtain a quote directly from a local pew maker or partner with a trusted retailer like CFaithS.com, which can help churches leverage buying power for larger projects. Not only does this support American craftsmen, it also ensures a perfect fit for your sanctuary.

Beyond full pew installations, there are a number of accessories to enhance pews, indicate reserved or select seating, and preserve pew life. However, it can be difficult to find accessories made in the U.S. Flynn offers a number of pew racks designed to bolt to the back of each pew and hold books, cards, even pencils that are made in America.

CFaithS.com also offers unique pew supplies such as 3D-printed communion cup holders and cup silencers; innovative accessories designed to reduce noise during communion services and extend the life of pews. These thoughtful details show how American-made solutions can be found even for the smaller needs of worship.
