What does the logo symbolize?

The symbol of the United Church of Christ comprises a crown, cross and orb
enclosed within a double oval bearing the name of the church and the prayer of
Jesus, "That they may all be one" (John 17:21). It is based on an ancient Christian
symbol called the "Cross of Victory" or the "Cross Triumphant." The crown
symbolizes the sovereignty of Christ. The cross recalls the suffering of Christ—his
arms outstretched on the wood of the cross—for the salvation of humanity. The
orb, divided into three parts, reminds us of Jesus' command to be his "witnesses in
Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria and to the ends of the earth" (Acts 1:8).
The verse from Scripture reflects our historic commitment to the restoration of
unity among the separated churches of Jesus Christ.
