This is a congregation of The United Church of Canada (a liberal Christian denomination), located in Maple Ridge, British Columbia.
The name is taken from the "Golden Ears Mountains", which are in clear view of the church.
The congregation has been created through the amalgamation of two previous congregations, and have inclusive, radical hospitality in Christ's name at its core.
Some images that would be helpful to play with: mountains, river (we sit between three), rainbow (part of our radical hospitality is celebrating Christians who are LGBTQ), family, connection.
Our denomination's crest can be seen at: http://www.wondercafe.ca/sites/default/files/u9149/ProposedNewCrestDesign.jpg
