By now, you’ve browsed “Founders to the Future: Road to 2040” and learned about the new Purpose, Mission, Values and Vision of the IBCM. If you haven’t, I’d highly recommend starting there.
One of the four elements lighting our path forward on this road is Refresh: Expanding IBCM’s social media presence, enhancing the current website, and creating visual brand assets to add connective tissue between the IBCM, IBC, and the International English-speaking churches.
While we are working toward reshaping the IBCM for the future, it became apparent that refreshing our external-facing brand is an important part of this growth and development journey.
OUR LOGO
An essential piece of the IBCM identity is our logo. The message we want to convey with the new IBCM brand logo mark is that we are reaching the ends of the Earth with the Gospel. We believe the new mark is simple, memorable, and meaningful – and it was designed with our new purpose, mission, and vision in mind:
- A cross at the center of it all represents the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ.
- Outstretched arms are reaching toward the ends of the globe shape, representing the new IBCM mission.
- Looking back to look forward, the logo mark uses a similar color and shape as the current IBC logo, providing more cohesion and consistency.
OUR WEB PRESENCE
Beyond word of mouth, our website and social presence are the main ways people may hear about IBCM and what we stand for. These are essential to providing churches, grantseekers and donors the information needed to join the IBCM and donate to our mission of reaching the ends of the world for Christ. On our new website, you’ll find a new design, colors, informational pages, posts, events and a new timeline of the IBCM history.
We hope you enjoy looking at our brand refresh, browsing our updated site and interacting with our new content as we continue to share updates about our Road to 2040 progress. If you feel the call to share our website and Facebook page with your family, friends, church and potential donors, you’ll be helping us grow the Kingdom of God, together.
Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.” Matthew 19:26
