We're Under Construction!

The stained glass windows in our church sanctuary are approximately 117 years old. They were salvaged from the old First Baptist Church building that was located downtown and installed in our new sanctuary when it was built. Unfortunately, like all things, the stained glass windows have suffered from the ravages of time and are now in need of some serious restoration work.

Jacksonville Art Glass has begun the process of removing the window and the restoration work will begin in a couple of months. Click the picture at the left to see a few pictures of the window being removed. To see more pictures of the restoration process in progress, please visit our restoration gallery at Jacksonville Art Glass.
