The best Church Anniversary yet, Hope Church, Brisbane's 16th Anniversary. There were performances from Morning service, Afternoon Service (a hilarious one), Ablaze service, WAM dancers and choir (Man in the mirror by Michael Jackson). We now also know the new name for our church - Hope Church, Brisbane and an inspiring logo to go with it. To top it up, quite a few of us went for supper afterwards.
It's been a great journey our church has been through and it's all because you're all here to be part of it's history and future. Let's walk bravely with God into the future as
His True Disciples, growing, maturing and bearing fruit in our lives.
NOTE: Below is additional explanation of the new logo from H.I.M. website :
Our new visual identity reflects our foundation in Christ and his transforming love as depicted in the Ichthus and the Cross. It is our vision to bring this message to the ends of the earth, seen here in the four corners of the globe. We are the messengers, the disciples of Christ symbolised by the 12 rays fulfilling the Great Commission at the dawn of each new day with renewed hope; which is denoted by the rising sun.
“For the Lord God is a sun and shield; the Lord bestows favour and honour…”Psalm 84:11a
In line with the launch, we also reviewed our Mission Statement so as to convey that same spirit and commitment that have fired our hearts the last 20 years in a more contemporary wording.
Our updated Mission Statement now reads:
Fulfilling the Great Commission
by raising Christ-centred disciples
to plant vibrant, biblical churches
in our city, country and all over the world
The new name, new look and new wordings all point us to one unchanging core – we remain committed to fully engage ourselves in the Great Commission!
