Elogeme’s Statement of Faith
- Elogeme Adolphi Christian Sorority believes the Bible to be the inspired and only infallible Word of God. God breathed-II Tim. 3:16-17, Infallibility of scripture-II Peter 1:19-21, God’s word is perfect-Ps. 19:7, John 17:17.
- We believe that there is one God, eternally existent in the Godhead, God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. I Cor. 8:4-6, Isaiah 45:18, Fullness of the Godhead-Col. 2:9, Elohim-Gen. 1:26, I John 5:7, The eternal Godhead-Rom. 1:20.
- We believe in Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son of God, (Jn. 3:16), His virgin birth (Matt. 1:18-25), His sinless life (Heb. 4:15, Heb. 7:26, Heb. 9:14, II Cor. 5:21), His miracles, His victorious and atoning death on the cross, His bodily resurrection (Jn. 20:19-20) (Matt. 27:32-56, Luke 24:39, I Cor. 15:14). We believe In the Blessed Hope (Titus 2:13), which is His personal return in power and glory (Matt. 24:30).
- We believe that the only means of being cleansed from sin is through repentance (II Cor. 7:10, Acts 3:19 Acts 26:20), faith in the Blood of Jesus (Acts 20:28, Heb. 9:12, Matt. 26:28) and being baptized in water (Matt. 28:18-20, Acts 2:38).
- We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit (Jn. 15:26, Jn. 16:12-33, Acts 2:33), by whose indwelling the believer is regenerated and enabled to live a godly life (Titus 2:11-12) in this present world (Heb. 13:5).
- We believe in the operation of the gifts of the spirit (I Cor. 12, Heb 2:4) and their full manifestation within the body of Christ (Mark 16:17-18, I Cor. 12:31, I Cor. 14;1)
- We believe that the baptism of the Holy Spirit, according to Acts 2:4,17-18) is given to believers who ask for and receive him (Joel 2:28, Jn. 20:22)
- We believe that the redemptive work of Christ on the Cross provides healing for the body, soul and spirit (Isa. 53:4-5) Deliverance (Ps. 34:17, 50:15, 107:6,20) is available to all who seek it (Joel 2:32, Col. 12-13, II Cor. 10:3-4).

Our Symbols
Our Symbol
Our EA symbol is not a Greek letter. This symbol was created by one of our founding members: Elo Audrea Funbanks in 1987.
Our Crest
The first unique crest design was thought to be to masculine because it had an armor’s head in the middle. The crest was then updated to this softer butterfly look. This design was used from 1990 until 2011.
Updated Crest
In 2011, our talented sister Elo Shenā Nicols updated our original crest to the shield design.
- The “armor of God.” It symbolizes God’s protection and Security.
- The “rainbow” represents God’s promise that he will never destroy the earth again by water.
- The “dove” represents the Holy Spirit.
- The “Holy Bible” represents the word of God.
- The “Diploma” represents our commitment to education.
- The “Coat of Arms” is the cross and crown. The cross symbolizes the personal cross we, as Christians, must bear (endurance and suffering).
- The Crown symbolizes the crowns we will receive as a result of overcoming and inheriting eternal life. (Victory and exaltation)
- The “Inter-locking people” represent our commitment to community service. The “EA” symbol represents our blessed sisterhood.
