About Our Logo

A logo is a readily recognizable symbol associated with an organization. Our CHBC logo, based on a stylized tree, incorporates many aspects of our faith, our organization and even our location. The logo was designed by Mary Nees, guided by principles and themes found in Scripture, which are presented here.

The Tree
From the tree of knowledge in Genesis, to the tree of Calvary, to the tree of life in the New Jerusalem, trees are used in God's word to represent great truths. And the evidence of God's true life comes only through being deeply rooted in the source of life, through the steady progress of a lifetime.
Scripture: Psalm 1
The Trunk
The trunk of our tree represents:
  • Jesus
  • His cross, which is our life
  • That He was to suffer and be cut off
  • That He remains the living Head, sustainer of the body
Scripture: Isaiah 53:2, John 15:5 ; 1 Corinthians 1:17-18 ;
Luke 24:26-27, Daniel 9:26 ; Colossians 1:18 .
The Canopy
The canopy of our tree shows:
  • The local body of believers, the manifestation of His life to the world
  • The fruit evident in the life of a believer
  • Unity with diversity
  • A fresh movement and change by the wind of the Spirit
Scripture: Ephesians 2:20-22 ; Matt 7:16-20, Gal 5:22-23 ;
1 Cor 12:12 ; John 3:8, Rom 8:26-29
The Ground
Our church, like this tree, is situated on a hill. The ground under the tree is spiritually hard and thorny. Out of this hard soil, planted by God, something is growing; it is alive, but also giving His life.
Scripture: Genesis 3:17-18, Mark 4:15-16 , Isaiah 53:2, 44:3-6
The Keystone
The keystone frame around our logo is not a boundary but a beginning, forming a cornerstone holding the rest of the structure together.
Scripture: Gen 2:2 ; Isaiah 28:16, 1 Peter 2:6-9 ; Col 1:17, Ephesians 2:20-22

Oak tree stump

Near the church stands the oldest Southern Red Oak in the state. It was also the largest, until the trunk split due to old age in 2002, leaving a twenty-foot high stump which continues on with new growth. This type of tree is known for growth in arid soil.
