UPPER LEVEL:
Sanctuary and Chancel
The Sanctuary was built to hold 325 people on the main floor and fifty people in the balcony. The floor is flat and carpeted down the centre aisle and in front of the first pews. A newly re- carpeted Narthex greets people as they enter. 
The Chancel (front of the Sanctuary) seats 30 choir members in moveable chairs. Choirs as large as 75, assisted by risers, have performed from the Chancel. The pulpit, communion table and piano all can be moved to adapt to different worship, concert or recital needs. 
The Sanctuary has an excellent, updated sound system, an infrared system to assist the hearing impaired and a multimedia projector system that is capable of projecting PowerPoint presentations, DVD and VCR component video output images onto a large, electronically controlled 14 x 14 foot screen.
Handicap access to the Sanctuary is at ground level from the north entrances and from the elevator located at the southeast corner of the Sanctuary. (picture of Sanctuary)
