Each time you see the flame and cross emblem, you are looking at United Methodism's official symbol.

Know informally as the Cross and Flame logo, but formally known as the denominations insignia, it has been in use nearly three decades. It is seen in cities, towns and rural areas at every poin on the globe.

The insignia is a cross linked with a dual flame. This symbol relates our church to God by way of the second and third persons of the Trinity; The Christ (cross) and the Holy Spirit (flame).

Apart from Wesleyan Trinitarian theology and warmth, the flame has two other connotations.

The flame suggests Pentecost when witnesses saw "tounges as of fire". And the duality of the flame was meant to represent the merger in 1968 of two denominations. Those being The Methodist Church and the Evangelical United Brethren Church.
