Church Furniture Blog

At Heavenly Wood, we offer a wide selection of Christian church furniture. This includes altars, prayer kneelers, wooden crosses and narthex furnishings. Some of our furniture is non-denominational, able to be used by any business, office or religious faith. So what modifications are commonly made to existing non-denomination furniture to make them more Christian oriented?

Because much of our furniture is hand made, modifications can be done to almost anything we sell. Modifications that many of our customers have made to standard furniture to make it more Christian oriented include:

Lettering: We can add scriptural versus and other wording to furniture. Let us know what you want and we’ll let you know if it can be done.

Emblems & Etchings: We can add many etchings and ornate décor to our furniture. This may include a dove, an Ichthys (Ichthus), grapevine etchings and more.

Crosses: We can often add a cross to a table, lectern or podium per your request. Again, let us know what you have in mind and we’ll let you know if it is a possibility.

Custom Modifications: As you may already know, we can also re-size furniture, make it taller and remove things. You name it and we can probably do it.

Whether it is because of the day itself, or because it is a good time of year, Easter is a popular time for many of our customers to upgrade or add to their church furniture. This includes pews, seating, pulpits and more. Our wooden crosses are also a popular item to add to churches during this season.

Now is the best time to begin looking for and ordering Easter furniture. Why is this the case? This is because our furniture is hand made. Hand made furniture lasts longer, and with tight budgets, we want to make sure your furniture will last you for years to come. While we can probably get the furniture out to you within 2-3 weeks, some of our more ornate and custom furniture can take up to 5-6 weeks. Counting this week, Easter is about eight weeks away.

If you need a quote, or a time estimate for your furniture, feel free to contact us here or call us at 1-800-257-2968. Quotes will cost you nothing and our customer service representatives will not pressure you into a sale. We simply want to help answer your questions and point you in the right direction.

At Heavenly Wood we offer a wide selection of wooden crosses for purchase. These range from small freestanding models to larger wall mounted crosses. The largest cross we currently sell is the plain oak cross (found here). It stands at an amazing 8 feet. Although that is a tall cross, do you know where the tallest cross in the world is located?

The world’s tallest cross can be found in Valle de los Caídos (Valley of the Fallen) near Madrid, Spain. The cross is made from stone and stands at an amazing 500 feet (152.4 meters). Although I’ve never personally been there, it is a sight to behold.

One of the United State’s tallest crosses can be found in Effingham County, Illinois and stands at 198 feet (60 meters). It is made from steel.

Those are some pretty interesting and impressive crosses. You can see Heavenly Wood’s entire selection of wooden crosses by going here.

You would be surprised how many people are creating their own home sanctuaries for religious worship. Some of these people feel their lives are too fast paced to attend a traditional church, where others like to attend church and have a sanctuary for personal meditation and worship as needed. Heavenly Wood helps to provide these people with church furniture. What types of church furniture are these people purchasing.

The most popular piece of furniture is a kneeler. Prayer kneelers, often referred to as prie dieu kneelers, are used for offering prayer. They are padded for the needs and usually include an armrest. Kneelers are available in several sizes with a variety of wood stands and fabrics. Prayer kneelers do not way much and can easily be tucked away if needed. You can find our kneelers here.

Another popular piece of furniture is the wooden cross. Heavenly Wood offers several wall-hanging crosses. These crosses are available in various heights, up to eight feet! The taller crosses tend to be more popular due to the intricate wood grain and the handcrafted look. You can find our wall crosses here.

Many people also like and prefer the ornate design of some of our wooden church seating. They like to put one or two chairs in their sanctuary for meditation purposes. Many like to use their iPods to download special podcasts referred to as Godcasts. They can then worship in their own sanctuary while receiving a sermon. You can find our seating here.
