We are also designing a new website and here is the template we are going to incorporate:
http://www.joomlart.com/demo/#templates.joomlart.com/ja_business
The header will be red and to check it out, click the cpanel button on the top right, and click red.

We would like to concepts that incorporate a crucifix.
Also a concept with MOJC letters with the text as well. An overlap of the two would be a concept to explore. Would like to see some brown with red

If using red, we would need a border of some kind since the background of the logo will be red on the website. Of course, we would like to see neutral colors as well. Thanks!!

We would also like to see ideas that has intensity to them. An idea that represents a proactive nature. Would also like to see a cross with Christ on it as well.

updated brief with:
We want the logo to show energy and motivation. One of our main goals is to motivate men to step out of their comfort zone and do what is right. So a sense of intensity is a direction we want to go in. Looking for something that gives a sense of progression. We strive to help a man who is timid to become a strong man of Christ. Something that represents strong masculinity, and still having a high representation of Christ.

Integrating Christ carrying his cross up calvary would give a pretty powerful visual as well. We really want to see something with Christ on a cross, or Christ walking with his cross.
