The
New Cumberland Presbyterian Logo resembles a traditional Celtic cross
long associated with Presbyterian and Reformed denominations. This
design illustrates the people of God becoming the Body of Christ in the
world. Close examinations, however, reveals the cross to be composed of
four persons with their arms interlocked.
This
illustrates the church as being the Body of Christ and that Cumberland
Presbyterians are a connectional community. Although the people
appear to be closing inward to the circle, the cross as a whole projects
outward.
The
people of God form a great circle. This is a circle of God's love
and grace; like a wedding band, the kind that has no end, one that can
never be broken. The circle also represents the world into which
the church brings God's love and grace.
Ultimately, the design resembles a cross.
We are always being transformed into the likeness of Christ, our
Lord.

Looking
deeper, the negative space inside the circle possesses another cross
made of cups. This represents our bringing the Cup of Salvation to
the four corners of the earth.
