Our Facilities
| We are proud to own a modern and well-maintained church building, a separate Family Activity
Center, and a comfortable parsonage, with all mortgages fully paid. The
church building is located on the main east-west street (Grand Avenue) in the
city of Port
Washington, just west of the business district. We have two acres of land
and ample free parking.
Our church building was built on the site of an earlier church in two
stages: Fellowship Hall was first built beside the older church and was
then used for Sunday services while the old building was demolished and
the new one built to replace it. The project was begun in 1957 and
completed in 1967.
The church is fully handicap-accessible

| Our sanctuary seats 250 in comfortably padded pews, with space for 25 more in the choir loft. It features a sound system installed in
1999 that makes it easy for everyone in the building to hear. The
sound system has speakers in the narthex and elsewhere in the church and includes two radio microphones and two fixed-location
microphones. We have mobile hearing-assistance devices for those who
would like to use them.
Our organ is a Rodgers dual manual with 60 stops. It was purchased new in
1992.
We are especially proud of the twelve stained glass windows in our
church. They were originally made for our previous building as
memorials and
were kept and re-used in the new building when it was built in 1966. (Stained glass photos)

| Fellowship hall contains 1,600 square feet of open floor space plus a
stage area measuring another 250 square feet. It is large enough for
modest recreational events and large enough to seat up to 120 at tables
for meals and refreshments. We have enough tables and chairs to fill
it.

| Our kitchen features four sinks and two gas ranges and is large enough
for at least six people to work at once. We have table service
for up to 120. |

| The property immediately east of the church was a hardware store and
filling station in the 1930s. We purchased the property in 1966
and
rented the store front for many years to help pay off the mortgage.
In 1988 we demolished the building and converted the land to
parking. Three very large, old maple trees remain on the property. We now have off-street parking for up
to 120 cars. |

| The property immediately west of the church was a dairy store in the
1930s. It was upgraded and made into a small family restaurant
in the 1980s. Partly through the generosity of
the owners, we were able to purchase the restaurant after it closed and have since
converted it into a multi-purpose facility that we call the Family
Activity Center. The building
is fully air-conditioned. |

Our Stained Glass

| The glass block front of our church was designed and built as part of
the new church in 1964. The other stained glass, however, was
removed from the old church building, stored, and then reinstalled in the
new church where it remains today. The images themselves were
originally crafted and added to the old church in 1943. |
