Covenant Thinks Big
If you’ve driven passed the First Presbyterian Church of Orlando lately, you’ve probably noticed the big change that’s happened there. A 28-foot by 8-foot change to be exact.
That’s the size of the new building banner Covenant created for FPCO with its web address and the words “seek, share and serve” printed on it from its vision statement. In 2005, FPCO adopted its vision statement with a focus on three key initiatives: to seek to know and worship God, share His eternal love, and humbly serve a broken world. Almost four years since the statement had been drafted, it was in desperate need of revisiting. So the leadership at FPCO sought out ideas for how to get people talking about it again.
Luckily, bold statements are Covenant’s specialty. We narrowed the vision statement down to three key words—seek, share and serve—and assigned an icon to each one. Then we placed the icons in a prime location, at the very top of FPCO’s welcome center.
Within days, people were buzzing about the icons and the sign, both members and non-members alike. After seeing the banner, FPCO member and former infantry captain Michael Waldrop was even inspired to incorporate the three key words into a speech he gave to the City of Orlando.
Both the words and the banner have left a lasting impression on the Orlando community. They act as a call to action, and also as a daily reminder that we were each put here for a very specific purpose: to seek, to share and to serve.
