Building Descriptions
Main Building
We completed our Main Building in April 2012. It has a Kitchen; a light, spacious Social Hall; and a quiet Meeting Room. Doors lead from the new Social Hall into our beautiful redwood Sanctuary. Built in the 1960s, the Sanctuary retains its beauty while benefiting from modern improvements.
