Cross and Flame

The cross and flame form the symbol of The United Methodist Church. The cross reminds us of Christ, who loves us and calls us to serve in his name. The flame represents the coming of the Holy Spirit. It also reminds us of John Wesley’s faith. Having two parts that make up the flame is a reminder of the coming together of two great church traditions-The Methodist Church and The Evangelical United Brethren Church.
