Accessibility:
The Sanctuary, Fellowship Hall, offices, library, and all classrooms are fully accessible
for the mobility-impaired. The Sanctuary remodeling has been praised for making
wheelchair-bound and other mobility-impaired people feel part of the congregation, not
singled out for special treatment.
Our Accessibility renovation project was written up in The Lutheran magazine, February 1998 issue.
