The official seal of New Life Apostolic Church of Jesus, Inc.-also known as The Empowerment Center-is a sacred representation of our divine calling, Apostolic heritage, and commitment to holistic ministry. Established in 1996, our emblem embodies the spiritual authority, foundational doctrines, and community-centered mission that define who we are as a body of believers.

Symbolic Breakdown

1. Shield Shape and Ecclesiastical Oval

The seal is structured in the form of an ecclesiastical shield within an oval-representing divine protection, spiritual authority, and apostolic order. This traditional shape signifies our alignment with biblical truth and historic Christian faith.

2. Episcopal Mitre and Croziers (Bishop’s Staffs)

At the crest of the seal stands a red and gold bishop’s mitre, symbolizing apostolic governance and the leadership entrusted to the church. The crossed croziers beneath it represent shepherding authority and the pastoral responsibility to guide the flock in truth and righteousness.

3. Divided Shield Imagery

The inner shield is split into two powerful halves, each containing symbols vital to our doctrine and purpose:

• Left Side Symbols:
• Golden Key: Denotes access to the Kingdom through divine authority, referencing Matthew 16:19-“I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven.”
• Alpha & Omega (): A declaration of Christ as the beginning and the end (Revelation 22:13), reinforcing our identity as a Christ-centered Apostolic church.
• Flame: Represents the fire of the Holy Ghost and ongoing spiritual revival, signifying empowerment through the baptism of the Holy Spirit.

• Right Side Symbols:
• White Pall Cross with Black Crosslets: A symbolic “Y” shape cross representing the convergence of the believer’s will with God’s divine plan. The embedded black crosslets evoke the five wounds of Christ and the global mission of the church to carry the gospel to the ends of the earth.

4. Colors and Meaning:

• Maroon/Burgundy: Sacrifice, authority, and consecration unto God.
• Gold: Divinity, excellence, and Kingdom wealth.
• White: Purity, righteousness, and the resurrected life.
• Black Accents: Strength, depth, and unwavering conviction.

5. Founding Year 1996

Displayed at the bottom of the outer seal, the year 1996 signifies the church’s founding and serves as a constant reminder of our divine origin, growth, and legacy.

Our seal is more than a visual identity-it is a spiritual declaration of our mission:

• To Reach Communities with the love and compassion of Christ-offering support, healing, and hope to the broken and underserved.
