The logo illustrates the anniversary theme:

Surrendered to God,
	Transformed by Christ,
		Empowered by the Spirit.

The central symbol represents both wheat and flame. As is suggested by John 12:24-26a, the scriptural text on which the theme is based, the grains of wheat emphasize surrender as they fall to the ground and die, transformation as they sprout with new life, and empowerment as they bear fruit in new heads of grain. The wheat whiskers point to Christ as they form a cross. Flame expresses surrender in burning and transformation in refining. It also testifies to the power of the Spirit.

Water connotes surrender, transformation, and empowerment through baptism into Christ's death and resurrection along with being "born of water and the Spirit."

The circle conveys the concepts of wholeness and unity as well as the world in which we are empowered to minister. The openness of the circle suggests that we not only need but welcome continued surrender, transformation, and empowerment.
