Grateful Hearts, Servant Hands. This identity is grounded in the landscapes of Waikato and Taranaki, shaped by the strength of Mount Taranaki and the life of the Waikato River. It draws on the beauty of the land, the movement of the river, and the guidance of the stars, connecting the Church’s calling deeply to the places it serves and the communities it walks alongside. The design carries a deep respect for mana whenua, weaving in the stars from Te Whare Hononga and reimagining the legacy of Bishop Selwyn. It balances strength with warmth, using bold forms, vibrant colour, and familiar Kiwi imagery to create something both grounded and alive. The result is a movement that feels at home in its place, and fully committed to its mission.
