A New Logo

You will begin to see our new logo in publications, on the website, and in our commu-

nity promotions. There are several points to notice about this new logo.

1. First and foremost, you will see our Mission Statement stating our

purpose as a community of faith. Building a community of faith that

glorifies God and reflects Jesus Christ.

2. You will also see the centrality of the cross in the logo showing

Christ’ love for us.

3. Within the logo you will find the four primary ways in which we seek

to accomplish our purpose.
