The Stained Glass in the Sanctuary

Stained glass window of God the Son

God, The Son

Jesus, as the Good Shepherd, stands invitingly over the main entrance to the narthex (South window). He stands victoriously over the globe of the Earth. Symbols of his birth, Joseph, Mary, the flight to Egypt, through the crucifixion and resurrection, tell the story of his life and triumph.

"Savior, Like a Shepherd Lead us, Much We Need Thy Tender Care."

God, The Father

The White Bluff Road (East) window depicts God, the Father, as Creator and Guide of Israel. The creation of the universe, the flood, the twelve tribes, Abraham and Isaac, Moses and the burning bush, Isaiah and the tongs from the altar tell the story of God preparing his people for the coming of the Messiah.

"This is my Father’s world, and to my listening ears, all nature sings, and round me rings the music of the spheres."

God, The Holy Spirit

The west window depicts the Holy Spirit, descending in the form of a dove, empowering the Apostles of old. Symbols of the early church leaders, Peter and Paul, are complemented with the shields of the four Gospel writers. Crosses represent the twelve Apostles and there is even a Methodist circuit rider (lower left) near the contemporary church building.

"Spirit of Faith Come Down, Reveal The Things of God."
