Canva Templates for Corps Ministry
In The Salvation Army, clear and welcoming communication plays a big role in connecting with our communities. Whether you’re greeting someone for the first time or following up with a prayer request, having the right printed materials can help express care and reinforce your mission.
To support your local ministry, we’ve created two editable Canva templates you can use at your corps:
📌 1. Prayer Card Template
This small-format card is designed to help people share prayer requests with your corps. It's a simple, accessible tool for encouraging spiritual conversation and connection.
📘 2. Bi-fold Welcome Card Template
This folded card gives newcomers a warm introduction to your corps, with space to share key details like service times, programs, and contact info. It’s ideal for welcome tables, visitor follow-up, or community outreach.
✨ How to Use These Templates
These Canva templates are fully editable and easy to use. You don’t need any design experience—just click the links, customize the content to fit your corps, and download for print or digital sharing.
Both templates are designed to be flexible and mission-minded, helping you stay consistent, professional, and welcoming in how you represent The Salvation Army.
