Expenses To Date
Current expenses have been approved by the Consistory to do exploratory and maintenance items within the Sanctuary.

Floor Plan Layout
Our committee has worked diligently to propose a viable floor layout that takes into consideration many elements including handicap access, maximum seating capacity, choir positioning and more.
Please note: options will be voted on.

Hardwood Flooring
During the exploratory phase, our Committee uncovered Heart Pine wood floors that are in excellent condition. A sample was sanded and refinished and can be viewed in the Sanctuary.

Recommeded Color Pallet
This is a rough sample designed by our committee to represent the color pallet we would like to recommend to the Congregation: white walls, dark stained pews with tan cushions, original wooden floors and exposed brick.
Please note: options will be voted on.

Pew End Design
The recommended Pew design has been narrowed down to include long-lasting materials and a timeless inlay design that mimics the Chancel Furniture.
Please note: options will be voted on.

Phase Two
The placement of a handicap ramp outside of the choir room will allow access to the Altar, Choir Loft, Sunday School Hall and Restrooms. *This will be a separate Property Committee Project to occur after the Sanctuary Restoration is completed.
