One of our prettiest Timber Churches, The Christ Episcopal Church.

The Christ Episcopal Church in Springfield, MO is one of the prettiest churches I've seen. Take a look at the dark scissor trusses in beautiful douglas fir timbers.

The main chapel area continues with dark stained douglas fir timber trusses. This arched truss design is gorgeous and the steel tie is needed for strength.

At Vermont Timber Works we specialize in designing and engineering heavy timber for churches, monasteries, chapels and more. It works out great when architects come to us early with their ideas. We take a look, make suggestions, and help with the design.
