The Symbolism of Our LMMC Logo…
The design of our logo reflects who we are, where we are planted, and the mission God has given us. Here’s what it represents:
Our church logo is a visual representation of who we are, where we are planted, and the mission we are called to fulfill. It beautifully intertwines elements of God’s creation with His Word, reminding us of our deep roots, our calling to bear fruit, and the life-giving power of Christ.
Tree – A Symbol of Life and Growth
The tree in our logo is inspired by the Tree of Life, a biblical image that represents the eternal life and wisdom found in Christ. As Psalm 1:3 describes, "He is like a tree planted by streams of water, that yields its fruit in its season, and its leaf does not wither. In all that he does, he prospers." Our church desires to be firmly planted in God’s truth, continually growing in faith, and bearing fruit in our community.
The Roots – Deeply Planted in Christ and Our Community
The roots of the tree represent our strong foundation in Christ and our connection to the Lake Martin community. Colossians 2:7 reminds us to be "rooted and built up in Him and established in the faith, just as you were taught, abounding in thanksgiving." Just as deep roots provide stability and nourishment, our church seeks to be deeply connected to God’s Word and the people we serve.
The Lake – Living Water that Sustains Us
The map of Lake Martin forming the top of the tree reflects our physical presence in this region, but more importantly, it symbolizes the Living Water that Jesus provides. John 7:38 says, "Whoever believes in me, as the Scripture has said, ‘Out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.’" Just as the lake sustains life around it, our faith in Christ nourishes and refreshes us, equipping us to share His love with others.
The River/Trunk – A Path of Faith and Mission
The trunk of the tree, shaped like a river, represents both strength and direction. It signifies our journey of faith, anchored in Christ but always moving forward in mission. Proverbs 3:6 reminds us, "In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths." Just as a river brings life to the land, our church is called to bring the gospel to our neighbors and beyond.
A Church Planted with Purpose
This logo is more than an image; it is a reminder of our calling. We are deeply rooted in the love of Christ, refreshed by His Living Water, and called to grow and bear fruit in our community. May we always stand firm in faith, trusting in God to guide our mission and bless the work of our hands.
