24 Inspirational Custom Stained Glass Windows

       Long-time church members Robert and Cathy Lewis have designed and constructed the nine main sanctuary stained glass windows depicting the life of Christ. Additional windows in the sanctuary and fellowship hall have also been changed to beautiful creative designs with individual Christian themes. The massive project began in 2009 when the Lewises volunteered to make a new back door for the church. They replaced the door that was falling apart with a new door with Cathy adding a peaceful dove as the window for the door. Rev. Don Duvall then approached them about replacing two plain windows that flanked a hundred-year-old main stain glass window behind the pulpit. They ended up creating two windows that matched the original window perfectly after four months of work.

       Then the rest of the sanctuary window replacement began with a window themed after the resurrection of the church that they are housed in. Pastor Don Duvall and his wife, Rose, sponsored that first window. Additional church windows were all sponsored by various church members until they all were finished. The windows as a whole show the love that Christ has for our church and its members...And the Love that our church has for Christ and what He gave up to cleanse us of our sins.
