Keystone Church Branding Case Study | Belief-Driven Identity

Keystone Church

Keystone Church had energy, growth, and a deep biblical foundation—but the brand didn’t reflect it. Perceived as a seeker-friendly church, they risked missing the spiritually mature audience they were equipped to serve. BLVR helped redefine their identity around a bold truth: life in Christ is lived unlocked. From a symbol-rich wordmark to campus-wide storytelling, we built a belief-driven brand that invites people to break free and live with purpose.

“While the excellent work speaks for itself, they also have integrity and an authenticity about customer relations. They care about us and are passionate about our mission and success.”

– Brian Burton, Creative Director

THE CHALLENGE

01

Keystone Church, a thriving evangelical congregation in Keller, Texas, had built a vibrant community centered on helping people find life through Jesus. But public perception didn’t align with reality. Many saw Keystone as a seeker-friendly church—missing the deeper, Bible-based conviction that guided everything they did.

Without a unifying belief that anchored their message, identity, and experience, Keystone risked blending in instead of standing out. Their impact was real—but their story wasn’t being fully told.

The Solution

02

We helped Keystone unearth the core belief behind their mission:

“The key to life is living it unlocked.”

That truth became the foundation for a bold new brand—one rooted in conviction and designed for transformation. We created a modern wordmark featuring a broken “O” to symbolize chains being broken and lives being set free. This idea shaped everything from verbal identity to environmental storytelling.

From a refreshed website to signage, murals, messaging, and visual assets, we brought their brand into full alignment—so every interaction would communicate freedom, clarity, and purpose.

The Outcome

03

The result was more than a rebrand. It was a reintroduction. Keystone emerged with a belief-driven identity that reflects who they truly are—and resonates with everyone they’re called to reach.

Now, with a unified voice, bold design system, and powerful tools to activate their mission, Keystone is equipped to lead people toward life in Christ—clearly, confidently, and without compromise.
