In calling ourselves Beautiful Savior Lutheran Church we are not simply referring to some physical characteristics of Jesus, but to the grand and wonderful things He has done for us. What is beautiful is the Good News that He died to take away our sins and rose again to bring us new and eternal life.

It is the beauty of that Gospel that is captured in this logo as it combines the Star of Bethlehem, the Cross of Calvary and the Empty Tomb. We go from the cradle to the cross to the crown.

The cradle is represented by the Star of Bethlehem that shines forth the hope and promise of Christ's birth into our world.

From the cradle we go to the cross. It is on the cross that Christ suffered and died bearing the sins of the world. The Cross of Calvary offers a sinful world forgiveness and salvation.

From the cradle to the cross to the crown. The center of star is clear and represents the open tomb and the resurrection victory of our Lord and Savior. There is nothing there because Christ is not there, He is risen!

The rays emanating from the Star and the Cross come from the Empty Tomb. They are dynamic in the sense that they hold no single meaning but may be interpreted differently by each of us. They may be the rays of the new life that is ours by grace through faith in the resurrection of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. They may represent Faith, Hope and Love. To some they may represent the Trinity. To others the rays may be the Means of Grace (the Word of God, Baptism and Holy Communion).

The logo was designed Susan Shields and Pastor Goetzke in 1991.
