This unique floor plan places the pews around the altar on three sides. This brings the parishioners forward for a closer view of the altar. Regional forms and materials accent the design. Those accents include arched colonnades, bell tower, tile roofs, ceramic tile and rough sawn rafters. A full immersion baptistery is included in the design. The Sanctuary design includes “state of the art” audio and visual equipment.
