Our Saviour in the spring
The main building on the left is the church building, built in 1865. The building is on the historic register. The Parish Hall is located below. The Parish Hall features a large meeting room and a full service kitchen. Long steps lead to the entrance. A ramp is provided that goes leads to a side door. The building on the right houses classrooms, offices, and another hall for larger meetings. It is named for the founding priest, Charles Caleb Peirce and is named Peirce Hall (built in 1998). There is a small playground in front of Peirce Hall. (Photo by Craig Kuehn)

Looking toward the altar 
After entering through the narthex (foyer), one's eyes are focused on the altar. The elevated sanctuary is at the end of a five sided apse. In front of the sanctuary and on the left, is a votive candle stand. Finishing the chancel, is the choir, located in front of the sanctuary. (Photo by Marty Hicks)

North Transept
The north transept as seen from the choir. On the upper wall is the Resurrected Christ window.

Below those windows is a side altar that used for storage of sacred linens. The side door is on the left of the picture. In the foreground is the lectern and the pulpit is between the lectern and ths side altar. (Photo by Marty Hicks)
