If one were to view FCC’s Sanctuary/Administration building from an aerial shot they would see that it bears a remarkable resemblance to the Christian symbol of a fish. Inside the sanctuary you will see curved walls highlighted by stained glass along their tops coming to a modified point at the front of the sanctuary where the pulpit, musical instruments, communion table and baptistry is located.
The fish symbol references an acrostic, consisting of the initial letters of five Greek words which formed the word for “fish” in the Greek: ICTYS, pronounced ICHTHYS. It contained the Greek letters Iota, Chi, Theta, Upsilon and Sigma. To the early Christian community, this signified, “Iesous Christos, Theou Yios, Soter,” or in the English translation of the Greek, “Jesus Christ, Son of God, Savior.”
