From the tour brochure:
Welcome to the newly remodeled sanctuary of Lincoln Christian Church. On December 5, 1954,
the building of bricks and Bedford stone was dedicated. One of the special features of the sanctu-
ary , then and now, is the stained glass windows of the nave, each carrying a message to those who
worship here. On the right, the “I Ams” of Jesus are symbolized in glass. On the left, His entire
life is symbolized including the following events: The Incarnation, The Nativity, His Early Life,
His Baptism, The Atonement , The Resurrection, His Victory, The Church, Rock of Ages, and A
“Mighty Fortress. The large window at the front of the church is The large window at the front of
the church is 28 feet high, and the glass is fully encased in stone. The three circles at the top carry
the symbols of the Godhead: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Just below them are the symbols of the
four evangelists —Matthew, Mark, Luke and John – with the busts of the four evangelists below
each. They tell the story of redemption (John 20:30-31).
In addition to the three homes on the
tour, this year Lincoln Christian Church
offered a guided tour of its stained-glass
windows. Pastor Ron Otto was on hand in
the sanctuary to talk about the windows and
share stories with guests.
