The Origin of Our Logo

Our logo is more than a design—it’s a story rooted in history and driven by mission.

When The Pilgrim’s Progress was first published in 1678 by John Bunyan, it quietly began a legacy that would become one of the most widely read works in history, second only to the Bible. In its 1679 third edition, an iconic illustration appeared: Bunyan, asleep, dreaming of a pilgrim named Christian pressing forward on his journey.

At its core, this logo embodies the words of Thomas Watson: “Though heaven be given us freely, yet we must contend for it… faith holds the promise in one hand, and Christ in the other.”

Our mission is simple: to connect the Puritans with Christ’s Church worldwide. By doing so, we aim to equip believers everywhere to press forward in the faith—steadfast, grounded, and enduring to the end.
