| The
symbols in our logo represent the fourfold gospel of the sufficiency of Christ.
The cross, pitcher, laver and crown join to illustrate our central theme in the
Christian and Missionary Alliance. That is: Jesus Christ is our Saviour, Sanctifier,
Healer and Coming King.
|
 The
Cross: Christ our Saviour
"...God
so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in
him shall not perish but have eternal life." John 3:16
The
cross stands for salvation through the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ,
the Son of God.
 The
Laver: Christ our Sanctifier
"May
God himself, the God of peace, sanctify you through and through. May your whole
spirit, soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
The one who calls you is faithful and he will do it." 1 Thessalonians 5:23-24
The
laver (wash basin) is representative of sanctification, that daily cleansing from
sin by the power of the indwelling Holy Spirit."
 The
Pitcher: Christ our Healer
"Surely
he took up our infirmities and carried our sorrows, yet we considered him stricken
by God, smitten by him, and afflicted... and by his wounds, we are healed."
Isaiah 53:4, 5b
The pitcher speaks
of oil for divine life and physical healing that come through obedience to God's
Word.
 The
Crown: Christ our Coming King
"This
same Jesus, who has been taken from you into heaven, will come back in the same
way you have seen him go into heaven." Acts 1:11b
The crown symbolizes
the return of our Lord Jesus Christ as King of kings and Lord of lords.
