The Church is located on Lake Shore Drive as you enter Gladstone from the South on US 2 & 41. Drive under the generous overhang to enter protected from the weather. This modern block building is home to 10 classrooms, offices, library, adult ed/fellowship room and a choir room.
The Sanctuary is laid out "in the round" and seats 300 to 500 people as it looks out over beautiful Little Bay de Noc on Lake Michigan. The chancel area is 30' across for a variety of functions and includes a cross that towers almost 30 feet to the peak. The windows soar with a mixture of stained glass and clear. Besides the sound system, there is a beautiful pipe organ, a baby grand piano, a set of Malmark handbells and chimes.
The Fellowship hall/gymnasium is 50' X 68' and is a legal volleyball court size. There are two basketball hoops and an overhead screen that is electronically operated for presentations. The many windows all look out over the bay with a beautiful patio and memorial garden just outside the door. The hall will seat 300 comfortably for dinners and is adjoined to a fully licensed commercial kitchen with a pass-thru window for service. Just down the hall are a couple shower rooms for both men and women.
The spacious lawns around the church allow outside functions and the patio has a built in fire pit. The gazebo located in the memorial gardens allows people a quiet place overlooking the gardens and lake to reflect in peace.
The large parking area is fully paved for ease of access and winter conditions.
The Church was designed and built by Roy Ness Contracting, Inc. of Escanaba, MI
