The Meaning Behind Our Symbols

The First Presbyterian Church in Germantown logo represents the multifaceted life of our energized congregation.  The cross on the left symbolizes our “Living Lord,” the foundation upon which we build our faith.  The harp in the yellow square represents our rich musical heritage, for we enjoy “celebrating” the gift of music in worship, workshops, and concerts.  It is important for us to share music with our community.  The dove symbolizes “serving,” the offering educational and mission opportunities through our many outreach activities.  People, active and joy-filled, are represented in the red square on the right.  We welcome all people to our church.  We are a diverse congregation of many racial, ethnic, theological, and socioeconomic backgrounds. 
We are, indeed, alive, spirit-filled, and caring.

The colors of the logo are reflective of the
beautiful stained glass windows of the church. 
In fact, the colors were taken directly from The Christmas Window, “Thy light is come” made by Nicola D’Ascenzo and seen in the southwest corner of the nave.
