Our Building
Built in 1871, this historic venue originally served as a United Methodist congregation for the surrounding community. For generations, it was a place where families gathered to worship, celebrate milestones, and create lasting memories.
In 2024, the Methodist Church made the difficult decision to close its doors, opening the opportunity for a new chapter to begin. By mid 2025, the building was purchased by Mark and Stephanie Liechty, and The Nave was born. With deep appreciation for the building's rich history and character, they are excited to breathe new life into the space while preserving the warmth and charm that have made it so special for generations.
Today, The Nave continues its legacy as a gathering place where new memories are made and meaningful moments are celebrated for years to come.
A Setting Worth Remembering
The sanctuary beautifully showcases the timeless character and craftsmanship of the original 1871 church. Original hardwood flooring from the earliest portion of the building still remains, adding warmth and historic charm to the space. Natural light pours through six stunning stained-glass windows, creating an inviting and elegant atmosphere throughout the day.
Suspended from the ceiling are six antique leaded-glass Gothic-style chandeliers, adding to the sanctuary's rich architectural character. At the front of the chapel, an impressive oversized wooden archway supported by fluted columns serves as a striking focal point for ceremonies and gatherings.
The chapel is furnished with beautifully crafted quarter-sawn oak curved pews, offering seating for up to 100 guests and providing a classic, intimate setting for weddings and special events.
