REACH 2025: Spreading grace, inspiring unity

Written by Marianne Abalayan //  Published

ICOC Philippines expands its mission nationwide.

After the success of TRANSFORMED 2024, the International Churches of Christ (ICOC) Philippines is preparing for an even more inspiring 2025 with its new theme: REACH.

Inspired by 2 Corinthians 4:15 (NLT), which says, “All of this is for your benefit. And as God’s grace reaches more and more people, there will be great thanksgiving, and God will receive more and more glory,” the theme emphasizes the transformative power of God’s grace in touching lives and bringing glory to his name.

To visually represent this message, ICOC Philippines unveiled the REACH logo, a design featuring a hand-in-hand image integrated into the letter "C." This powerful symbol encapsulates the essence of the theme, reflecting collaboration, unity, and mutual support—values central to the church’s mission.

 

A closer look

The hand-in-hand design signifies a strong connection between individuals and communities, highlighting how partnerships and shared efforts can drive meaningful change. By visually linking hands, the logo communicates the church’s commitment to reaching and working together to achieve shared goals.

This imagery also emphasizes expanding impact. The act of holding hands within the letter "C" represents how unity and collaboration enable the church to extend its influence, touching more lives and spreading God’s grace to a wider audience.

Furthermore, the logo champions accessibility and inclusion. The hand-in-hand design illustrates the church’s mission to leave no one behind, building bridges across diverse groups, cultures, and regions. It reflects ICOC Philippines’ dedication to creating an environment where everyone feels welcome and supported.

A heartfelt thank you to Arvic Tamayo of Mandaluyong-West Pasig for bringing the REACH logo to life, as his creativity and dedication beautifully capture the spirit of unity, love, and service that ICOC Philippines embodies.

 

From vision to action

With the 2025 theme, ICOC Philippines, which comprises 38 churches across Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao, aims to bring the gospel to more cities and provinces while actively meeting the needs of the communities it serves. Guided by the principles of collaboration, inclusivity, and service, the church seeks to inspire greater faith and unity in the coming year.

Through REACH, ICOC Philippines reaffirms its commitment to spreading God’s love and grace, one hand, one heart, and one community at a time.
