Church Sanctuary Interior....con't. from previous post




Category: Photography | Posted: Mon Sep 01, 2008 5:57 pm

The interior is modern, but not over-the-top. Thankfully, things were kept simple, and easy to rearrange. They did choose to go with chairs that hook together into rows. There are chairs with arms, and loveseat chairs too, enough variety to please everyone. The panoramic photo is a bit skewed, but I couldn't find a way to fix it well. The seating actually curves towards the front, not to the back. The seating can also be moved into other formations, as nothing is attached to the floor.

Click Here to see seating (large file).

This congregation combined from two separate congregations whose churches were either in a poor location, or very old and high maintenance. One was torn down, and I was able to purchase their church organ at the auction (which is now in my piano studio). The stained glass windows from the two former churches were removed an put into storage while the new church was built, then installed at each end of the main foyer to the new church.





Each large window hangs from ceiling beams.



The front of the sanctuary is very understated but very usable space, with lots of light.

I love the way the windows hang from the overhead beams. It makes a mix of old and new. Wannabe

The stained glass windows are just perfect. They add the final touch which make the church look great. The seating is ideal and certainly looks comfortable and the aisles are wide enough for wheelchairs.

Lovely stained glass. The Gathsemene one was especially nice, I thought.
