Our Logo
The purpose of NJCM can be described best by our logo depicting the passing of a baton in a relay race and by our slogan, "Empowered By Christ To Help Others Finish Well."
Hebrews 12:1-2 "...let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us. Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the Pioneer and Perfector of our faith..." Philippians 3: 13-14, "... Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus."
All Christians of every denomination are teammates together in the race of life. NJCM is called to help others run this race the very best they possibly can. The white light from above along with the arm from above passing the baton says that NJCM is "Empowered by Christ". NJCM receives the baton in order to pass it to other Christian runners Ð "To Help Others". Christ has put something shaped by His strength into NJCM's hand to pass on. What things?Éheads of ministries, pastors, and teachers - 90+ instructorsÉgeneral session speakersÉ60+ Christian ministry exhibitorsÉspecial worship leadersÉyouth leaders
Not only is NJCM "Empowered By Christ To Help Others" but also "To Help Others Finish Well". When long-distance runners "see" the finish line, that's when they "press" (Philippians 3:13) the hardest with every ounce of strength left in their bodies. NJCM helps spiritual runners - through all the teaching and exposure to ministries - to "see" Christ - their spiritual Finish Line and Prize of the race - so they keep pressing hard right NOW to the finish line of faith (i.e. to become more like Christ).
