NRN Core Values and Mission Statement

On Sunday morning, May 3, 2009, I revealed the results of the recent refocus process and presented the newly-defined core values, mission statement and logo for North Raleigh Church of the Nazarene. The core values of North Raleigh Church of the Nazarene are as follows:

Bible-centered preaching
Prayer
Reaching people who are away from God
Fellowship and community
Strong pastoral leadership
Godly servant leadership
Celebrative and relevant worship

The logo design

The logo design is intentionally simple, but has been created to reflect these concepts:
The circle/ring is a symbol of entirety, wholeness, completeness;
The heart relates directly to whole-hearted commitment;
The cross in the center communicates that Christ is at the center of all we do;
Orange is the color of fire, a symbol of the Holy Spirit;
The borders around each element are rough to imply that we are not perfect when we make a whole-hearted commitment to Christ, but that is where the work of wholeness begins.
