SA/NT LOGO

The central banner represents the geographical shape of the SA/NT District. The cross which stretches across this area evokes a sense of movement and progression. Also, its flowing lines are not restricted by boundaries, just like the spread of the gospel.

The circle of dots represents different communities coming together in unity. These communities are individual and diverse, yet under the one banner of Christ and focused on Him. This circle is open for more communities to join.

The earthy colours are representative of the Australian outback and acknowledge our multicultural population, particularly our indigenous peoples.

This design reinforces the Lutheran Church SA/NT District mission statement.
