Turning The Fathers Church History Into a Hallway Story
The Fathers Church wanted to tell the story of its church in a way people could experience as they moved through the building. Lawton Printing & Graphics helped design, print, and install four large history boards that turned an ordinary hallway into a visual timeline.
Story boards are some of the most rewarding projects we get to work on because the finished piece is more than signage. It organizes years of history, photographs, milestones, and memories into something members and visitors can stop, read, and experience.

Four boards telling one connected story
The project centered on four large-format boards installed throughout the hallway. Each board needed to work on its own while still feeling like part of one continuous history display.
Lawton handled the project from design through installation, helping organize the information visually, prepare the artwork for production, print the finished boards, and install them in the space.
From church history to finished installation
Design
Historical displays have a lot of information competing for attention. We helped turn the church’s history, photographs, dates, and milestones into a layout that could be read naturally as people moved through the hallway.
Printing
Once the artwork was approved, the four boards were produced as large-format rigid graphics with consistent color, sizing, and presentation across the complete display.
Installation
The boards were installed in the church hallway so spacing, alignment, and viewing height worked together as one finished environment rather than four separate printed pieces.
The hardest part is often deciding how to organize years of information into something people will actually stop and read. Good design, consistent production, and careful installation all matter when the final display needs to feel permanent and intentional.
Helping organizations make their history visible
Churches, schools, businesses, museums, nonprofits, and other organizations often have decades of history stored in photographs, documents, timelines, and archives. A physical story board gives that history a permanent place where employees, members, visitors, and future generations can see it.
These projects can take many forms, including hallway timelines, anniversary displays, donor recognition walls, organizational history boards, project timelines, and permanent exhibit graphics.
- Historical timelines and milestone displays
- Church and organizational history walls
- Anniversary and legacy displays
- Photographic story boards
- Corporate history and culture displays
- Educational and museum-style exhibits
- Design, printing, finishing, and installation from one production team
What happens behind the scenes
We start with the photographs, dates, copy, logos, and historical material that need to be included.
The information is organized into a visual hierarchy that works at the actual viewing size.
Artwork is reviewed before production so names, dates, photos, and important historical details can be checked.
The final boards are positioned and installed so the complete story reads naturally in the space.
We are happy to take a look
If you have old photographs, historical documents, timelines, or even just an idea of what you want the finished display to communicate, we can help work through the next steps. Lawton has supported North Texas organizations with print and graphics projects for more than 40 years.
