Our New Logo

We are on the way with Jesus together: inviting interdependence, cultivating discipleship, accompanying leaders, and fostering belonging. (Check Out our Case Statement To Learn More)  Together, these four commitments guide how we organize our lives, steward our resources, and participate in God’s work in the world.

We are updating our logo to reflect this shared mission. 

Designed by the Rev. Dr. Gabi Schroeder of Faith Lutheran Church in Meadow Vista, this new logo centers around a cross-path that branches outward in life and mission. The four sections of leaves mirror the ELCA’s four-quadrant logo and reflect both our shared ELCA mission as well as our four synodical commitments. Though each section is distinct, they are all connected through the cross-path at the center — a visual reminder that we are on the way of Jesus Christ and belong to one another.

The colors and movement in the design reflect the diversity of our synod, stretching from the Pacific shores to the Sierra peaks, where we serve communities in bustling cities, suburbs, and rural areas. We are many communities united in one body with a shared mission.

This logo is more than a new image, it is a reflection of who we are becoming on the way of Jesus together.
