The sanctuary has 2nd- and 3rd-level balconies on most of the circumference of the auditorium. The church also features an elevator, cafe, bookstore and a Prayer Pavilion.

Activities

Its largest events every year include Celebration of Christmas, a Broadway-style performance featuring a full live orchestra and state-of-the-art technology with incredible special effects. Culminating in a beautiful Nativity with a majestic Kings’ procession, the show includes exciting new dance numbers, professional acrobatic silk artists, awe-inspiring aerial stunts, and flying angels. Each summer features a Broadway-style musical.
