  Our New Look…
   Same Dedication to Excellence for Christ

You may have noticed the new logo adopted by The Chapel and perhaps had a few questions about why it was changed and why this particular one was chosen.

The previous Chapel logo was designed to launch the new building construction campaign which was entitled, "Opening New Doors of Opportunity". The construction project was completed two years ago and we have enjoyed the fruits of that phase of our church.

We are now looking forward to growing as a church and expanding our ministry opportunities, and what we needed was a picture representing who we are and what we stand for. This new logo was designed to show:

• Christ (represented by the cross) is at the center of The Chapel in North Canton.

• The Bible, with its pages fanned behind the cross, is our foundational authority and we stand on God's Word alone.

• The emphasis of our name is placed on "The Chapel" rather than our location in North Canton, simply to show that we are not "exclusive" to North Canton, but have members from all over northeast Ohio.

So when you see this new logo being integrated into the various aspects of our church, we hope you pause and recall the elements that went into its design, and are proud to be a part of this very special church family.
