The Emblem
The official emblem for the United Methodist Church combines the cross and a flame. The cross and flame are ancient symbols of Christ and Pentecost. The shape of the emblem is fluid and free flowing, suggesting change and mobility, "I now remind you to stir into flame the fit of God which is within you." 2 Timothy 1:6a
Our heritage is one of sacrifice, witness and service. The emblem serves as a continuing reminder of both opportunity and obligation.
