The unique character of Believers Church is expressed in the design of its emblem—a people deeply committed to the faith and practice as it is revealed in the Word.
The early church fathers chose the symbol of the CROSS. Its two bars were already a cosmic symbol from remote antiquity representing the axis between heaven and earth. Their choice had a specific explanation. They wished to commemorate as central to their understanding of Jesus, neither His birth nor His youth, neither His teaching nor His service, neither His resurrection nor His reign, nor the gift of the Spirit, but His death, His crucifixion.
The Cross and the Circle
While the circle in the logo represents eternity, the cross is not enclosed or contained within the circle. It goes beyond the circle, implying that the cross is the centrality of our faith and its significance transcends eternity. It represents the Lord Jesus Christ and His redemptive work on the cross.
So the supreme priority of our church is to enable God’s people to know Jesus more fully and intimately and hunger to become like Him. Thus they will manifest Christ’s life as they die to self through the cross and follow in His footsteps.
The four emblems, within the circle stand for the emphasis we have in the Church.
