Stained Glass Windows
When the Sanctuary was built,
the architects used a lot of
Christian symbolism in their
design. The most visible of
these symbols are the eleven
stained glass windows on the
front and sides of the
sanctuary.
Near the tops of each window
is an image that pertains to
the Christian Year, starting
with the Advent. The window
pictured here is the McCloy
Memorial Window which was
dedicated to the memory of
Mrs. J.D. McCloy, Sr., on
October 14, 1956 when the
building was constructed.
You can read about the
windows here.

Symbolic Architecture
The Sanctuary itself was built to symbolize the Church itself being the
Ark of Salvation and there are special ecclesiastical names that refer to
the various parts of the church. Some of these are the Nave, the
Narthex, the Baptismal Font. You can read a more detailed article about
the symbolic architecture of the Sanctuary here.
Pipe Organ
The pipe organ in the sanctuary is the only pipe organ in Monticello at
this point in time. It is a 20-Rank Moller Organ Opus 9410. You can read
more information about pipe organs and the one in our sanctuary by
