St. Christopher's Episcopal Church holds first service
The final construction phase of St. Christopher's Episcopal Church astonishes Karen Poyser.
The chairwoman of the architectural committee for the Carmel church likes the 65-foot-tall ceiling and the painted ornamental trusses. She also likes the library with its bay window and French doors that open to a memorial garden. Stained-glass windows, she says, reflect a sense of history and a sense of place.
St. Christopher's Episcopal opened a new sanctuary and narthex Sunday at 1402 W. Main St.
The opening celebrates 10 years of planning and hard work, Poyser said.
"We were struggling with trying to balance a great vision with somewhat limited finances," she said. Building in three phases allowed the church to achieve its long-term goal without taking on huge debt.
Poyser called it fortunate that the design lent itself well to building in phases. The complex is divided into three functional elements: worship space, administration and education space and fellowship space.
The main entrance court has a soaring gable and a grand scale gothic portal. There is a separate drive-up entrance for accessibility needs and deliveries.
