It may surprise you how many messages are contained within the few simple lines that form our logo. Read on to find out all of the messages we have intended to communicate.

Each figure is composed of the letter "i"
The letter "i" stands for Irving; the three "i"s together represent the community of Irving, the community in which we are located and in which we serve.

Each cross is a bright, vibrant color, depicting the energy, enthusiasm, and joy we receive from being led by the Spirit and living a life of service.

The logo also underscores the following concepts from our mission statement:

We glorify and worship God.
The apostle Paul wrote that Christians should glory in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ [Galatians 6:14]. Our logo depicts the three crosses on Calvary, with the cross of Jesus in the center and lifted above the others. Everything we do is designed to glorify God and honor Jesus, our Savior.
We unify our hearts together in love... We encourage one another in spiritual growth... We serve others...
The "cross people" are shown with out-stretched arms, representing acceptance and an eagerness to support and encourage one another. Together, the "cross people" depict a family. Love, acceptance, encouragement, and service are all characteristics found in a healthy family. Fittingly, the New Testament describes the church as the family of God and its members as brothers and sisters. The center cross represents Jesus, the source of all spiritual blessings.

We share the gospel of Christ with our neighbor.
Our logo highlights the cross of Jesus. His sacrifice paid the debt for sin and secured our hope of salvation. His atoning gift enables and inspires us to share the Good News with our friends and neighbors. The open arms of the "cross people" represent our own open arms, reaching out to share our hope and to welcome believers into our fellowship.

The three colors of the logo further accentuate the message of salvation. The orange of the middle cross represents Jesus Christ as the light of the world. The blue of the left-hand cross represents water baptism, the divine ordinance in which we contact the blood of Christ and receive cleansing from our sins. The red of the right-hand cross represents the blood of Jesus, shed at the cross, paying the price for our salvation.

The slogan accompanying our logo is: Trust. Love. Hope.  
These three concepts encapsulate our mission statement in its simplest form. These concepts are supported by scripture in 1 Corinthians 13:13: "Trust steadily in God, hope unswervingly, love extravagantly" [The Message]. Also in 1 Peter 3:15 which tells us, "But in your hearts set apart Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect..." [New International Version].
