MEMORIAL GARDEN

The EBIC Memorial Garden provides a quiet place to remember those who passed away while part of the EBIC congregation. The Memorial Garden is located on the east side of the building in the area of the three crosses, and includes engraved brick pavers etched with names, and birth and death years. Pavers will be added periodically. There will be no provision for ashes, urns, candles, photos or personal effects.
An individual may be memorialized who was a member or regular attender of the EBIC congregation at the time of their death. Potential names must be submitted by a family member. Submissions may only include family members who have passed away within the living memory of individuals submitting the request. There is no cost to the family for the memorial. The family member making the submission will be contacted when the paver has been added to the Memorial Garden.
If you have a family member you would like to memorialize in this way, please complete this

Visual Identity

Our EBIC mission: We want to see every generation growing together as Christ’s hands & feet in our world. To accompany this new statement, we have developed a visual identity—a logo and color palette to use in our various media.

While we know a logo can’t capture a full expression of who we are as the body of Christ, it can still be a useful tool for communicating something about who we are and what matters to us. When you look at our EBIC logo, we hope that:

  • the e reminds you of the value we place on being part of our community of E-town
  • the different colors of the leaves make you think of beauty in diversity…what we want to experience by ministering to “every generation” rather than just a single target demographic
  • the greens bring to mind our goal of “growing” as disciples of Jesus
  • the three leaves symbolize “growing together”—in relationship with one another and in communion with our three-in-one God—Father, Son, and Spirit
  • the upward curve of the leaves evokes worship of God, and the outward turn exhibits being “Christ’s hands & feet” in reaching out to and serving others
  • the blue calls to mind the care we have for “our world”—our mission spans the whole globe
  • the bic prompts thoughts of our deeply appreciated partnership with the Brethren in Christ, our denominational family
