but you´ll need a better solution for the "S" (OAKS)

FYI this is for the initial internal critique here. No way are we showing 30 some odd concepts to the client. Right now I just wanna thicken the stew...I had other ideas that I was going to explore but simply ran out of time.

I like 2 and 5 best. Very good work, and good for you for doing this for your church. Good design is goodwill.

I like 1A the best. And i like your process, as well. Great work.

I like #28, but i'd love to have the font in 33.

nice work, number as a logo. and 3 with the type usage.

No. 1. Alternate rendering adds strong detailing (the devil is in the details!). Understates the cross, but likely that all the contexts it will be in will have some spiritual/church reference (full name, etc.)
Only criticism there is to explore the typography to lock-up with it further. The serif you're using makes it a bit stodgy. In addition, you're only weaking the graphic strength of the mark by placing it in a containing shape.
Good work on that first version! Don't present anything else to the client - go with one, strong recommendation and you'll win it.

Well, I wont even tell you which one I like...you probably already know. Your work is really good, your church should be extremely happy with any of your options. I've never seen so much thought being put into a projects such as this. It received some criticism...but where is the crit for Gaudi, for Le Corbusier, for Wright? Many designers do their arguably best work for the Lord.

Very good stuff. really like how you laced the trinity symbol with the split T... so much one could draw from this logo. I see a group of people rooted into a core christian belief... Nice
Question, does the church have a website? I'd like to see what they've had thus far.
how old is the church?

So, Presbyterian's don't accept spanish or portuguese folks - got it.
just kidding. I'm just giving you a hard time - I understand your connotation with the typeface. :)

i guess i'm a little late jumping in on this thread. i like 1 alternate. the shapes at the bottom do double duty as leaves/"jesus fish" (that's what i see anyways). nice work, gramme.

letters, is there a typeface you would suggest? I searched high and low and prefer Scotch Romans, which are a bit stiff by design, being originally cut for steel type...BTW, the containing shape is an uppercase O, perhaps you already picked up on that...
This was one face that I looked at but don't own:

Taylor, the church is 15 years old. The building is very classic red brick/high white steeple. Everything inside is offwhite or beige (ick) and burgundy. Pretty traditional.
We are redesigning their site this summer after the logo is finalized. This is what they have now. It's awful:
