Holy Apostles Anglican Church building was built in 1899 as St. Bartholomew's Episcopal Church. Our congregation purchased the building in 2001.
During Medieval Times, symbolism played a large part in the design of church buildings. Very little of this symbolism is understood today. This symbolism is embodied in the design of Holy Apostles' Church: The building was built in the ancient form of a Cross. The Nave, where the congregation sits, represents this world and our transitory life. The first Sanctuary Arch represents our death and passing from this life to the next. The second Arch represents victory over death and a new life in the Heavenly Jerusalem. The Sanctuary represents Heaven and our Saviour Jesus Christ is given the place of honor in the Tabernacle on the gradline above his Altar. The upper and outer beams are a replication of the Cross of St. Andrew.
The Bell Tower with its' Battlement Parapets reminds us that Christ the King is present in his castle to protect us always in the battle with Satan for our Souls.
The Stained Glass windows are original. The side windows represent Christ the King by the Purple and Gold colors and the separation of sky and water. The large window at the top represents the Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end by the Sun and Moon and the top center pane, the All Seeing Eye of God.
The Altar is on the true East wall and the Sun carved in the two main beams represent Christ the Light of the World.
