Pulpits vary in cost. A Lighter Touch Churches with less traditional worship might consider purchasing a solid glass pulpit. Glass pulpits can be etched with the church logo or another design, providing a focal point from a context of openness and airiness. The logo can be hand-etched from a design sent by the church, or from a factory design approved by the church. In turn, that design can be carried into other church materials, such as business cards, stationery, or signs, Jackson says.
Some churches opt for pulpits of Plexiglas, which cost less than glass.
Those pulpits come in four styles and with center-support configuration. A Plexiglass pulpit is lightweight, but it can scratch easily. Some churches choose pulpits that are a blend of Plexiglas and wood. Plexiglas can be etched with a Bible verse or a design to become a focal point of chancel decor without becoming too formal or imposing. A pulpit may have wings, or it may be something you can see through.
