目的

他（耶稣）又设个比喻对他们说，天国好像一粒芥菜种，有人拿去种在田里。这原是百种里最小的。等到长起来，却比各样的菜都大，且成了树。天上的飞鸟来宿在它的枝上。
太13:31-32

（耶稣说）我是葡萄树，你们是枝子。常在我里面的，我也常在他里面，这人就多结果子。因为离了我，你们就不能作什么。
约15:5

「森 」

十字架
「 森 」字里的十架，提醒我们要作一间以基督为主的教会。

人
「 森 」字里包含了三个「 木」，意味一群 各方各业的人士齐聚团契，并同心全意敬拜独一全能的神。

Purpose

He (Jesus) told them another parable: “The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed, which a man took and planted in his field. Though it is the smallest of all your seeds, yet when it grows, it is the largest of garden plants and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air come and perch in its branches.”
Matt 13:31-32

(Jesus said) I am the vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing.
John 15:5

Sembawang Baptist Church is established as a Chinese church in Singapore where the English language is predominant. We seek to get our fundamentals right – focus on the teachings of Christianity and to spread the Gospel.

Aims

Keeping in line with our Constitution, we designed the SBC logo with the following in mind:

  • To proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ
  • To worship and serve the Trinity God
  • To minister to Christians and the community at large
  • To preach the truth of God as revealed in the Bible

Our Logo

By deconstructing the character「 森 」, we examine each part in detail.

Colour

Brown is the primary color of the logo because it is the colour of a tree and its branches, which matches what is mentioned in Matt 13:31-32 and John 15:5.

Symbolism

Cross
「 森 」brings out the symbol of the Cross — it serves as a reminder for us to be a Christ-centered church.
Branch
「 森 」stands for “branching out”. This matches the aims of the church to proclaim the Gospel and minister to the community at large. It is also with hope that we will grow and bear much fruits in Christ according to John 15:5.
People
「 森 」is the combination of three「 木 」, and that symbolises the gathering of different people from different walks of life for fellowship, and to worship the One almighty God wholeheartedly.

Typeface

The Chinese calligraphic brush stroke on the cross symbolises our Chinese cultural roots. The remainder of 「 森 」is set in kaishu (楷书) which represents us in modern times. This mixture of influences in the logo「 森 」hence shows that SBC is adaptive and relevant in this modern age whilst maintaining deep ties with our Chinese culture.
