The mission of The American Christian History Museum is to educate everyone in America about our country’s Christian foundation. Though our founding fathers would today be unfavorably labeled extremists of the Christian Right, we took great care to make sure the museum’s logo was politically neutral and appealing to everyone.
Our museum logo reflects an early American, Pennsylvania Dutch design representing the Christian faith.
The central image is a stylized dove cut into three portions which initially can appear as a flower or even suggest the French fleur-de-lis. The dove’s three parts symbolize the Trinity of God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit.
The dove is descending upon three stars. Stars are a symbol commonly borrowed from our flag to represent America. The three stars in the ACHM logo represent our three branches of government described in Isaiah 33:22 “For the Lord is our judge (judiciary), the Lord is our lawgiver (legislative), the Lord is our king (executive); it is he who will save us.”
This verse from the Bible affirms the godly foundation of our nation and declares, like our national motto, in whom we place our trust.
