Front Artwork

The artwork at the front of the sanctuary entitled “God with Us” was created especially

for our church. The image represents the rending of the veil in God’s temple at the

death of Christ (see Ex. 26:31-33; Mt. 27:51, Mk. 15:38; Hb. 9:3). There are 66 pieces of steel and copper that represent the number of books of

the Bible, along with further symbols of people and events from Scripture. For further

explanation and detail, visit the Welcome Center.

those who trust in Christ alone.
