So, lots of teams, universities, and corporations have mottos or slogans by which act as a backdrop for what the team aspires to or intends to do. It serves as a centerpiece for a group of individuals who collectively move towards something for a specific purpose.
My high school basketball's motto was: MT-XE. Mental Toughness. Extra Effort. Yes, I know, Extra does not start with an X.
The San Antonio Spurs have this as their locker room motto: "When nothing seems to help, I go and look at a stonecutter hammering away at his rock perhaps a hundred times without as much as a crack showing in it. Yet at the hundred and first blow it will split in two, and I know it was not that blow that did it, but all that had gone before."– Jacob August Riis
There are many others out there.
In terms of that, I think Scripture provides a great motto and then some for a group of believers who gather together in community:
"Therefore, as God's chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances you may have against one another. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity. Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful. Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom, and as you sing psalms, hymns and spiritual songs with gratitude in your hearts to God. And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him." (Colossians 3:12-17 NIV)
