Central to Baptist Village as expressed in its logo is the cross, which is a universal symbol of the Christian faith.  The central placement of the cross proclaims our identity with Jesus Christ. In the name of Christ our Lord and Savior we express our identity by responsibly utilizing our resources with compassion.

The caduceus in the upper left quadrant is a symbol used by the medical profession.  The ancient Greeks and Romans used the caduceus as a badge of office and personal inviolability for their heralds and ambassadors. The caduceus reaches its highest symbolic significance in the logo of Baptist Village.  It serves symbolically to proclaim us as ambassadors of Jesus Christ in our service to the elderly.

In the upper right quadrant of the logo, indicates the caring hands.  The gospel of Jesus Christ is a call to service.  He tells us in His word that we have served Him when  “ to the extent that you did it to one of these brothers of Mine, even the least of them …” (Matthew 25:40 NAS).  The parable of the good Samaritan places in stark contrast the caring hands of the Samaritan against  the lack of caring activity of the priest and Levite.  The ministry of Baptist Village is the hand of caring touch even to the least of them.

In the lower right quadrant is the Mitchell Chapel on the Waycross campus.  The chapel reminds us of the importance of and the necessity of worship.  In the public worship experience the diversity of people is united by the power of one spirit conforming us to the image of Christ Jesus. When we worship Him in spirit and truth we become more transformed into His likeness. Our caring ministry also speaks to the equality of the spiritual with the care of the physical.

In the lower left quadrant is the Great Oak on the campus at Waycross.  This tree is estimated to be over 1000 years old.  Think of what it has survived to reach such an age.  It could have been eaten in acorn stage by a wild animal that roamed these woods.  A forest fire could have burned it.  It could have been cut down to clear the way for a field to farm, or to provide wood to cook, or warm, or lumber to build something.

Having survived to enhance the campus of Baptist Village, we choose to believe it is a symbol of the providence of God.  In its branches we find a symbol of the outstretched arms of the almighty God where we find shelter, nurturing and security.
