About our beautiful facilities

The Chapel is in half of an octagon that is 40 feet high in the center, with clerestory windows.   The back wall of the stage features a commissioned artwork: a stained glass mosaic that depicts points of energy and light coming together in Spirit and love, at a wellspring set in the mountains, as it passes thru all four seasons of natural beauty.  A computer & projector are used during services to project images or words to songs onto a large screen. The Chapel can seat up to 300 in comfortably padded chairs, usually arranged in a semi-circle.  

We have 6 classrooms and an Assembly Room in our Youth Education wing, 5 offices, a Bookstore/Lobby area, and a well-equipped kitchen.  The other half of the octagon is a large patio that looks out over the hills and our neighbor's small lake. 

This 21 acre tract of rolling pastureland also has an outdoor amphitheatre and stage, and a cosmic outhouse near lovely Roberson Creek.
