New Website and Logo for FBC Euless

August 19th, 2007

This morning was “Promotion Sunday” which means the beginning of a new year, in case you have never attended a Baptist church. They like to act like it follows a college semester or school year or something. Old habits die hard, I guess.

So to signify promotion Sunday, along with John Meador’s 1-year anniversary with FBC Euless, they launched both a new website and new logos, designs, team and class names for the church. It’s a whole new look and feel and for the most part I think that it is really good.

I like the new logo, but I don’t care for the Easter-Egg, Pastel colors that they chose. I would have preferred a slate gray/ navy blue/ silver / black / or dark red theme. I am sure they care about my opinion ;) Either way, I think it brings a nice change to the look and feel of the new website and change can be a good thing when it means growth, and this church definitely has grown over the past 2-3 years.

It’s going to be exciting to see what comes about in the next several months in the life of this church, a place that tries so desperately to move forward and progress with growing times, but seems to get in it’s own way so often. For the most part, FBC Euless is one of the most progressive Southern Baptist churches in the DFW Metroplex. But as of late, it has taken a few steps backwards into the more traditional Baptist role that we are used to seeing in this area. I think the new website and it’s features are a good contradiction to that, and I am glad to see them, other than the fact that the site doesn’t seem to like Firefox.


The resignation of Claude Thomas , some three years ago, didn’t discourage or bring down this church body, but empowered them to the extent of “let us show you that we follow God and not a man of God” and that is exactly what has transpired here, with the paying off of a $6.5 million mortgage debt in this period of time. Whatever happens next should be worth blogging about.
