Logo Explanation

The following is a brief explanation of the significance our logo contains. It is by no means exhaustive. There are many other scripture passages that support each bulleted point, and a few other minor theological points that can be made about each element of the logo. Such minor points are biblical, but not necessarily relevant to the whole church in general. Additionally, as you read through this and observe our new logo, you may even think of some other points that you could add to what already has been listed. Those may not be out of line either.

Our logo was adopted by the Leadership Team on July 13, 2006.
