About the Chalice
Pine Valley Christian Church is proud to use the official logo of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) as our point of identification.
The logo is comprised of a red chalice, with the white cross of St. Andrew superimposed.
This emblem was adopted officially to represent some of the history and goals of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) and is trademarked through the U.S. Patent Office.
The chalice points to the centrality of the Lord’s Supper in the life and worship of the Disciples. The Cross of St. Andrew, national cross of Scotland, focuses attention on the Presbyterian roots of the Disciples. St. Andrew has been identified with the laity and with evangelism, both of which have been prominent Disciples’ emphases.
The color red signifies vitality, spirit and sacrifice.
