After a REALLY long process, and looking at about 100 good and bad names, we have decided on a name. The name of this church plant will be TRINITY CITY CHURCH.
We are in the process of developing a logo and website for the church (www.trinitycitychurch.org). The above graphic is merely an example. For now, Between Two Cities will function as the blog for Trinity so that you can keep updated on the latest information. We will keep you posted on when this blog will merge with trinitycitychurch.org.
Why did we pick this name? It communicates our vision and identiy as a church. Here is how:
Trinity - we are a church with historic convictions about Jesus. The Trinity is the central belief of all Christian churches, and it is what separates Christianity from cults and other world religions. It is a belief that stats there is only one eternal God, who exists as the persons of the Father, Jesus Christ the Son, and the Holy Spirit, and each person is fully God. This is the theology of the Nicene Creed, and it is historical theology that fundamentally declares Jesus is God. This church plant affirms historic convictions about Jesus.
City – we are a church with holistic compassion for the city. This church is an urban church that is located between the downtowns of Saint Paul and Minneapolis, and located in Saint Paul proper. The middle name of the church shows not only our location as a church, but also our commitment and love for this city. This church wants to bear witness to Jesus in both what we say and what we do. We want to not only share the message of God’s grace to all people, but also to love the city through social compassion and cultural engagement.
Church – we are a Christian community. The word “church” is still significant for our culture, and it refers to a community of Christians who gather to worship Jesus. We are a community of people who love Jesus.
In summary, Trinity City Church is Christian community with historic convictions about Jesus and holistic compassion for the city. We hope you like it!
I like that you have the celtic trinity symbol up on this…like P.O.D.
That looks really good. Honestly, one can get very excited about this.
