The Logo

UBC has chosen a tree as our logo, which is why you'll see various trees all around our website. Scripture speaks of trees in its beginning and at the end.  One of those is the tree of life which reminds us of the authority and priority of Scripture in our ministry as we look into the treasure found from Genesis to Revelation.  The tree also serves to help us identify with our local area.  From maple syrup to tourism, trees play a vital role in our local economy and culture.  We want to be in our culture to share the love and truth of Jesus Christ to local people who are hurting and need Jesus.  The cross of course is the tree in the middle of Scripture representing the death and resurrection of our Lord Jesus which gives us the hope and help in the midst of all the suffering taking place around us. As trees grow so do we in encouraging our people to use their talents and gifts out in the community and  within the church to love them to Jesus Christ.
