In this posting I have some images of our church, St. John's Lutheran, which is of the ELCA Synod, and is located near the center of Knoxville. Our church was founded in 1888 and the sanctuary was built in 1913. The outside is made of gray stone.
This is inside the sanctuary. We have many beautiful stained glass windows that illustrate major events from the Bible. Our pulpit, where the pastor gives the sermon, is off to the left and is not quite as "elevated" as the pulpits are in Indonesian churches. I think our pastors would greatly enjoy having a higher pulpit to put them closer to God.
This is the Ascension window, directly above the altar in the front of the sanctuary.
These windows depict the Crucifixion, Christ the Good Shepherd, and King David.
This is a closeup of the Good Shepherd window. Though there are no herds of sheep in Knoxville, the window is a favorite of many members of the church.
The pastors and the acolyte wait at the back of the sanctuary by the baptismal fount before the service. The service starts with the procession, with the acolyte leading the way carrying the crucifix, which is a gold cross on a long staff.
During the service we had a beautiful baptism.
