The Chapel of the Cross was built in the shape of the Jerusalem Cross (all sides are equal). It is used for worship, classes (worship and music), lectures, concerts and weddings. It is also rented each Sunday to a mission Mennonite Congregation.
In the middle of the worship space is a sculpture by Paul Granlund of the crucified Christ. It is filled with agony and a sense of defeat, but the side pieces resembling a ladder remind us that the work of Christ was still under construction as he died on the cross. Granlund asked that it be placed in the middle of the sanctuary to remind us that Christ promised to be with us each day, in the middle of our lives, and that our relationship to Him is not finished, but also under construction each day.
The Auditorium was recently renovated to accommodate 50 laptop computers and 100 other seats. It is our “smart classroom”. It is a classroom and lecture space and can be rented for seminars.
