School seal

[edit]

The Outer Circle Official Seal of Filamer Christian University represents the programs and services that Filamer offers. The Inner Circle symbolizes the development of the individual's well-rounded personality. The Equilateral Triangle inside the circle stands for the three balanced components of human potentialities: the spiritual, the intellectual, and the physical with the spiritual aspect as the base. The Cross represents the victorious Christ as the center. The symbol emphasizes the love of God. The Sun represents the illuminating light and eternal hope for every person who searched for truth and wisdom. The number 1904 stands for the year the school was founded.
