Openness, natural light, brightness of a worship space that is open to the outside

Simple modern design of building

Clear sight lines

Our unique stained glass cross and windows – a major focal point

Our unique stone font – a focal point.

Altar – raised, a clear focal point

Placement of chairs for clergy – alongside altar

Definitely a sacred space – quiet, peaceful, sense of mystery at times

Solarium, windows, connect us to nature, Garden of Remembrance and neighbours
