It’s a pretty simple symbol. A triangle of sorts. Standing alone it may not communicate much. But when we’re further along, it will have incredible meaning.

We’re trying to fill this symbol with substance. Our hope is that when people see this simple symbol they will automatically think of Madison Park. Not just our name, of course, but us…literally, us. When this symbol shows up, we want people to think of a group of changed individuals–reshaped by the power of Christ. We want people to think of those who care deeply about others and serve them. We want them to think–Christians.

We are the substance of this symbol. We are what give it meaning. We are what people think of when they hear the words Madison Park. We are not stereotypical church-goers. We are people who invest their lives in the lives of others and selflessly serve. We are people who are being enriched by God’s word and growing into the likeness of Jesus. We are people engaged in worshiping a worthy God.

Why this particular symbol? When you see this triangle, think a singular purpose produced by an interrelated strategy. We exist to facilitate life change…that’s our purpose.  Change happens when people Encounter God through worship and interacting with God’s people.  Change happens when God’s people Connect around God’s word. Change happens when people Serve their community.

Our strategy is simple: Encounter, Connect, Serve. You’ll hear those words more and more often. You’ll see the logos show up in more and more places.  You’ll sense that this is our direction.  We invite you to experience life change with us. We encourage you to adopt this vocabulary as you talk with your friends.

We believe we exist by God’s design to help people experience life as God wants it.  That’s going to require change. Change occurs as God and His people teach us through His word to serve like Jesus. Personally, I can’t wait to see what God is going to do.
