Church Pews from Henninger's Religious Goods in Cleveland

Pews

A church’s pews direct the congregation toward the liturgy. Sight lines and layout are of the utmost importance. The style of pew, its cushions, kneelers, book holders, and finish of the wood must be specific to each customer. The pews should fit into the overall concept of the church. We have the capabilities to make new pews and kneelers, or repair and refinish existing pews and kneelers.

Pentecostal Church of Christ ~ Cleveland, Ohio

“Members of the assembly should be seated in such a way that they can actively participate in liturgical celebrations both visually and spiritually. They should be able to see the priest celebrant and other ministers when they are reading or leading prayer.”

- The General Instruction of the Roman Missal

Holy Spirit Church ~ Uniontown, Ohio

Since the liturgy requires various posture and movements, the space and furniture for the congregation should accommodate them well ... Many churches have found that a combination of fixed and flexible seating works best to accommodate various liturgical actions.”
