On a topographic map, a benchmark is an equilateral
triangle with a small dot in the center. It marks a known
point. A benchmark can be helpful in finding where you
are. Whether in the wilderness or in your daily routine,
you need to know where you are before you can decide
which way to go.
A benchmark is a known point on two planes: the vertical
and the horizontal. On the horizontal plane, the United
States Geological Survey (USGS) knows the location of
each specific benchmark and its relationships to other
features like roads, streams, or mountains. Vertically,
the USGS knows the elevation of each benchmark, or its
vertical relationship.
The benchmark symbolizes the commitment of this ministry to create a known point. We design experiences to
help people assess their horizontal relationship with other people and creation, and their vertical relationship with
God. The small dot in the middle of the triangle symbolizes the high value of a Christ centered, Biblical worldview
and how that emphasis affects the whole person. The three sides of the triangle represent BENCHMARK’s focus
on the whole person: the mind, the heart, and the will. A BENCHMARK experience will challenge you to evaluate
the way you think, feel, and act in light of Biblical principles.
