新店浸信會的LOGO


教會LOGO係結合教堂正面造型,代表教會異象,出自建堂的美南浸信會宣教士-柯理培牧師。其意義概為:

教會是神在新店設立,為要傳揚十字架福音。因此我們要以基督為中心,高舉十字架,連結不同恩賜的各肢體。向日葵造型代表聖靈眷顧下的豊盛恩典,因此葉片由小而大的漸盛,代表教會聖徒靈命的成長与福音的興旺;双環圈向外擴張,則代表福音的傳播由近而遠,直到地極。

In July of 1953, Rev. Charles L. Culpepper, the founder and director of Taiwan Baptist Theological Seminary, and Pastor Yang Meizhai of Yan Oi Baptist Church, established the "Southern Baptist Church Xindian Mission" on Guangming Street, in Xindian. Rev. Culpepper served as its first pastor. In 1959, Xindian Baptist church was built at its current site on land purchased on Guangming Street. The church's founding anniversary was on November 15th. This was Taiwan's 23rd Baptist church.

The church is designed according to the Gothic architecture of many southern churches in the United States, with a sloping and pointed roof, and a bell-like tower holding up a cross. The facade of the church is shaped like a sunflower with twelve petals, symbolizing the twelve tribes of God's chosen people.

The logo of the church integrates the facade of the church, representing its vision. It was designed by Rev. Culpepper, the Southern Baptist missionary who established the church. Its meaning is described as follows:

God himself founded the church for the purpose of spreading the gospel of the cross. Thus, we must be Christ-centered, exalt the cross, and integrate church members with their various different gifts. The shape of the sunflower represents the flourishing grace fostered by the Holy Spirit; the leaves develop from small to large, signifying the spiritual growth of the church saints and the furthering of the gospel; the expansion of the double-ringed circle represents the spread of the gospel from near to far, to the ends of the earth.
