CHARTERED




This 8,400 square-foot addition to an existing Lutheran Church provided a new Sanctuary and Sacristy, Offices, Classrooms, a Music/Choir Room and a new Narthex.  Placed at the forefront of the site, the Sanctuary with its 56-foot high tower acts as a traditional welcoming beacon along the commercial strip of the highway.  The new masonry walls incorporate string courses and quoins of brick matching the original Church.  The interior of the Sanctuary has been designed to complement the liturgical tradition of the congregation, and the color palette selected to harmonize with the exterior materials of the Church.  The chancel furniture and the pews were custom designed in natural cherry with mahogany accents.

Since the Church faces west, the last rays of the setting sun are reflected in the reflective portion of the tower glass, highlighting the cross which is composed of milk white diffuse glass and illuminated by the interior Sanctuary lighting. The interior also features one of the last organs produced by the Moeller Organ company of Hagerstown, MD.
