      1. Hayworth Chapel

        The Hayworth family’s gifted vision for the future is the most important part of the legacy of the chapel. The current facility was completed and occupied November 6, 1972. Charles E. Hayworth, Jr. provided funds for the construction and named it in honor of his father, The building was renovated in 1986 after a fire destroyed two rooms of the Sanctuary. A balcony was added in 1990 increasing seating capacity to 300 as well as a new M.P. Moller pipe organ was dedicated that same year. In 1999, the new vestibule with its 22-foot ceiling, Palladian window, Georgian porch, and 95-foot steeple was added. Adorning the steeple is a 7-foot combination French and Celtic cross donated by its designer and builder, Pete Howard, a former blacksmith. The latest renovation was completed in 2019, updating the flooring, pews, chancel, and the a/v and lighting  technology.
