our dream
we seek to reflect
We believe in fairytales & in covenant here on earth to be reflections of a spiritual reality. We believe in Jesus & his Holy Spirit moving within our shared humanity, unifying us as his Bride, the one he died to save & eagerly waits to return for one day.
In this engagement, we are learning to dance—to lean into tension, to submit to love, to trust, knowing the greatest stories endure reality with hope & happily ever after isn't a myth, but a promise from the God of love himself.
our values
The Cornerstone
In the beginning we see the throne of God seated above all creation. The throne becomes the Cornerstone from which and for which all is created. (John 1:1-5, Ephesians 2:18-22)
In the end, the river of life flows from the throne & on either side grows the tree of life, establishing a new Eden to redeem all creation. (Revelation 22:1-2)
It’s shape alludes to an engagement ring representing the Holy Spirit as a promise from Christ to his bride—a seal & sign he will return for her. (2 Corinthians 1:22)
This river, the Holy Spirit, purifies the bride preparing her for the most awaited wedding day in all of history.
The Masculine Tree
On the left we see the masculine tree grow with humility, representing Jesus shielding his bride and likewise reaching towards her with great anticipation.
His strength and stability provides structure and support for the nourishment of his fragile counterpart.
(Ephesians 5:21, 25-33, Song of Solomon 2:3-6)
The Eagle
This powerful watch bird represents the protection of God and the guidance found in his leadership. (Psalm 91:4, Deuteronomy 32:11-12)
The Feminine Tree
On the right, we see the feminine tree grow with complexity, representing the Bride of Christ longing and reaching for him. She bows to her husband in respect + vulnerability, thriving in creativity under his covering.
(Ephesians 5:21-24, 32-33, Song of Solomon 4:1-16)
The Sparrow
This curious song bird builds a resting place—she is not forgotten by her creator. She represents the provision of God and the freedom found in his care. (Psalm 84:3, Matthew 10:31)
The Foundation
Together, the trees represent unity in covenant between husband & wife, established in the river of life and producing gifts as depicted by the 12 fruits of the spirit. They support one another in their unique designs, yielded in harmony, reaching & weaving in a dance of dependence as seasons evolve and their roots deepen. (Revelation 22:2-5)
Beyond the surface, these roots intertwine to represent two souls entangled midst the unseen—a mysterious and profound spiritual reality. (Ephesians 5:31-33)
At it’s foundation, a key unlocks the way into a new garden where man might once again walk with God for the rest of eternity. (John 14:6, Ephesians 1:9-10)
The Complete Crest
The crest depicts the symbolism of covenant found from Genesis to Revelation in the Garden of Eden, the marriage between man & woman, and ultimately the new Heaven established when Jesus returns for his bride at the end of the world.
“The Spirit and the bride say, “Come!” And let the one who hears say, “Come!” Let the one who is thirsty come; and let the one who wishes take the free gift of the water of life.” (Revelation 22:17)
