CHARIS GALLERY
The name Charis is derived from a Greek word meaning "favor" or "grace," but is perhaps most accurately rendered by the concept of goodwill.
Founded in 2010, Charis (KAR-is) Gallery is located in the Sanctuary building and spans the hallway west of the main lobby. The Welcome Center (off the hallway) accommodates multi-dimensional fine art in three glass cabinets. The Apostles Gallery is located in the opposite hallway. This collection of Kenneth Wyatt’s paintings of Jesus and His disciples (and Paul) are on permanent display.

By its definition, “ancestry” naturally brings about thoughts of the past and of family. One might think of a great grandfather’s home in a foreign land or of a specific work or accomplishment of an ancestor. Someone else might think of a spiritual ancestor like Abraham. And still another might envision the intricate beauty of a “twisted rainbow” - a DNA strand
