This mural hangs in the "east wing" of the Centrum's Narthex (foyer). It was designed and painted by the youth of Cypress Creek Christian Church. Together they poured their creative spirits into the artwork. Each part reveals aspects of their faith and view of God.

The mural is divided into three sections: Fore, middle and background which are representative of the Holy Trinity. Together, they give the full picture of God.
The foreground figure represents humanity. The middle ground has wheat and water, which represent life. The planting, growing and reaping of the wheat is a continual process, which corresponds to birth, life and death of mankind.
The wheat borders the water, a meaningful symbol of spirituality and strength. This water is filled with dolphins, embodying the peace and life of Christ, given freely to all.
In the background the sky is seen in both day and night, repeating the theme of a cycle but also representing the beauty and majesty of God's creation.
The mural also contains butterflies which are emblems of the new life which God gave to us with the birth, death and resurrection of his Son.
A pathway reaches across the entire mural, fusing the sections together. On this arch are figures ascending to heaven.
The youth encourage all to look for their own symbols and meanings in the mural. It is a gift from these artists to those who enter this sanctuary:
