Accessibility

Accessibility is a top priority at Gloria Dei. From parking to the Sanctuary, Gloria Dei is accessible to all guests. There are ramps at most entrances, and we provide restroom facilities for disabled members/visitors. Gloria Dei offers ample designated disabled parking, several passenger drop-off areas and convenient curb cuts for easy wheelchair access. Other services include Braille instructions on elevators, and assistive-listening devices for Worship Services.

Stained Glass Windows

Gloria Dei is fortunate to have a series of stained-glass windows that are a unique demonstration of the finest artistry in this field of the ecclesiastical arts. Designed by Mr. Robert Berg of the St. James’ Kiln and completed by Miss Elizabeth Scott of Minneapolis, the process itself is an old-world technique, rarely, if ever, used in this manner in this country. The glass is an imported “fleche” glass which comes in double color, and a painstaking etching process is used which insures the deep richness of the reds and blues. If you are interested in learning each window’s story, Take a video tour of these stained glass windows narrated by long-time Gloria Dei member Florence Stater with the link below.
