Church

Description

A beautiful space (featured on our home page) facing a large bright full length window at the front of the sanctuary behind the communion table. A central aisle and two smaller aisles on either side.

The church has hosted plays, musicals, concerts and all variety of performances. The sanctuary area is raised and can be completely cleared to provide a stage for shows or musical groups.

Capacity

Usually set up for around 200, can seat up to around 250 when full, with extra chairs. Comfortable chairs with cloth covers may be individually placed or clipped together to form a row.

Access and Special Needs

Access is upstairs to the main doors but also serviced by a lift to side doors. The lift has capacity for equipment and other large items and must be used in funerals.

A personal loop system is available for anyone requiring hearing enhancement.

Large print versions of our hymn books are also available, on request.

Music and Audio Visual

The church has a high quality pipe organ that is well maintained and played every Sunday and a piano with rich warm sounds.We also have a Hymnal Plus to provide accompaniment in the absence of an organist.

We use the Singing the Faith hymn book and also have Songs of Fellowship.

An AV desk is permanently installed at the rear of the space with a 12 channel mixer, DVD and CD players, and computer plug in points. A panel of XLR jack sockets is installed to one side of the sanctuary to allow microphones, musical instruments, etc. to be plugged into the AV system. The church uses both fixed and radio microphones to augment the human voice.

A screen may be lowered in the sanctuary area for showing videos or computer presentations from a data projector mounted on one of the tie rods that cross the interior roof space. The sanctuary screen is supplemented by two flank monitors for those at the rear in the side aisles.
