Notice anything different around here? Maybe here? What about over here?

Thanks to the brilliant and kind folks over at Moore Consulting Group, Trinity New Life Church finally has an identity in graphic form!

I'm in love with this logo. And while Trinity is a clearly a Christian word, it's in the name of the church because it's the name of the city where we're planting the church, and I wanted the focus of the logo to be "new life," the simplest explanation of the gospel in my opinion.

The logo also communicates the reason why TNLC exists: to love Jesus, love people and serve the city. "Love Jesus" is represented by the roots going down deep into the soil, as our love for Jesus is the source and motivation for everything we do as individuals and as a church. As a result of those roots going down deep, two leaves are produced-"Love People" and "Serve the City." We don't love and serve others to get Jesus to love us, but do so out of our love for Him and His love for us.

In the coming days I'll post a few desktops in case you'd like to stare at it's coolness all day long, but for now, here's a few backgrounds for my iPhone-lovin' peeps. Just right-click on the images to download the full-sized version.
