CHANCEL FURNITURE (2003): A gift from Mrs. Charles Porter of Covington and James H. Porter of Macon, in honor of their brother, O. W. Porter. This furniture was placed in the church in 1948, during the pastorate of Rev. Webb Garrison.

NAVE (2003): View of the nave from the chancel. There are six chandeliers. The two closest to the chancel (not visible in this photo) were part of the expansion. They are a close match to the other four only larger. The exact style was no longer available these renovations occurred.
