Seating Changes Until recently, most churches had stationary pews. At the time those pews were bolted into place, sanctuaries were busy places, hosting worship services on Sundays and prayer meetings during the week. Today many churches are using their sanctuaries for other purposes besides worship. For them, fixed pews can be a problem. Bryan Feller, of Bertolini, Inc., which offers several types of church seating, approves the trend toward flexible seating.
Some congregations choose flexible seating because they object to the formality of pews.
Some choose it because they don't want to reserve a large space just for worship. They may have to stack chairs to make room in the sanctuary for a Friday night basketball game. Anywhere Chairs Church chairs offer comfort, style, and versatility. Most vendors offer a wide range of metal finishes and fabric colors for chairs. The synthetic, commercial-grade fabric is pretreated for stain control.
