The basic architectural concept of our worship space is as a tent. This imagery of the church is in keeping with the Scriptural interpretation of "God dwelling among us." Upon entering the church, one sees a sunburst representing creation and resurrection. Other images from both the Old and New Testaments are depicted throughout as symbols of our faith. The baptistry at the entrance of our church is hewn of rock, symbolizing the solidarity of God's presence in the world and in our lives.
