The top two Stained Glass Windows featured on this site have just been thoroughly cleaned and renovated by Midwestern Stained Glass Studios.  This work was done by master glass artisan, Doug Gammon, and his crew in August of 2004. For the first time in 35 years, these two windows, donated in 1905 by lumber baron R. A. Long, can now be viewed from outside the sanctuary, on the street, in radiant color, owing to Gammon’s work and clear glass protective coverings.

Through the generosity of Mr. R. A. Long, two of our stained glass windows were commissioned from the Tiffany Studios in New York City. The Long Memorial window (above left) was dedicated to Mr. Long’s parents and illustrates Jesus’ appearance to Mary in the garden on Resurrection morning. This year, the church and the Robert A. Long Foundation funded restoration of both windows by Midwestern Stained Glass Windows. For the first time in nearly thirty years, both commissioned windows can now be brilliantly seen from outside the church building as well as within.

The “Rumble Memorial Window” (above right) was dedicated to our first missionaries, and depicts Jesus holding a coin representing “give unto Caesar what is Caesar’s”. The signed Tiffany windows are original to the building and are dated 1905. These windows remain highly valued aesthetic enrichments to the church to this day.
