in christian art, the square halo identified a living person presumed to be a saint.
Square Halo exists to encourage and equip the saints aesthetically, theologically, practically, and generationally. We value creativity and pursue aesthetic excellence, while also endeavoring to be collaborative in all we do and make. Scripture is central to our work, and we show our love for the Church by focussing on encouraging and equipping ordinary saints.
come to our conference
One way we encourage and equip ordinary saints is through our annual conference celebrating creativity, collaboration, and community. The keynote at Square Halo 26 will be Curt Thompson, psychiatrist and a contributor to our book, Ordinary Saints. Our concert Saturday night will feature Jon Guerra. Come join us!

Square Halo Books was founded with a commitment to publish extraordinary books for ordinary saints. From our initial vision to publish contextually sensitive biblical studies our range of books has blossomed to include works that seek to bring glory to God through every aspect of life. Some recent titles are shown to the left, but we encourage you to explore our entire catalog!

Listen in on conversations with the artists, writers, musicians, and thinkers who contribute to Square Halo. We explore ideas in and around our books, usually discussing themes of art, faith, imagination, and community.
join our community
Creativity, Community, and Collaboration are the hallmarks of our annual conferences. More than just PowerPoints and Big Talks, these are warm, welcoming, quirky events that include music, theater, art, food, and fellowship—with the goal of inspiring ordinary saints to take these good gifts home with them to their communities (and into The Neighborhood, our online community).
