So what does our church logo stand for anyways? Many people have speculated as to what our logo symbolizes. We have heard everything from two men going up for a jump ball in a basketball game to a couple of volleyball players preparing for a spike at the net. Perhaps you see two people giving a high five or two people stretching before a workout. Nevertheless, I would like to take a moment to share with you what our logo means to me as one of the evangelists of this local church.
Our logo was selected carefully and we wanted it to be a symbol that would be recognized by others as being connected with the local congregation. When I first saw the logo, I noticed the cross. Personally, if it is not about the Lord, then why use it. Secondly, I noted that there were people working together, who although different (cultural, ethnical, social etc.), were showing to others the message of the cross of Christ. By reaching upward, they show their reliance upon and need for the Lord and His daily guidance and strength. But by reaching outward, they share the love of Jesus with everyone that they come in contact with. We attached the short motto, “Serving Jesus By Sharing Jesus” with this logo because we believe that this is what our existence is all about. On the website we classify ourselves as, “a congregation of Christians that serve the Lord by sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ.” We are the church (a congregation of Christian) that assemble in Chillicothe, Ohio. You may see other ways of viewing this logo, but I hope this helps you to see who we are and what we are all about in the church in Chillicothe.
Just for fun, can you think of anything creative that this logo could stand for?
Leave us a few comments…
God bless you
