255 S. Seventh St. Window viewings open to visitors by appointment. Call (785) 825-4750 during weekday working hours. On October 4, 1925, choir members led their congregation south on Seventh Street from a small, white frame church building (built in 1870) into a new church home on the northeast corner of Seventh and Mulberry. This new brick building featured 20 stainedglass windows created by the Kansas City Stained Glass Works. Individual members of the congregation funded the windows as memorials to loved ones. Most of the windows, which feature traditional construction and design, are located in the church sanctuary. Major panels depict events from the life of Christ, including Jesus and the Children, the Sermon on the Mount, and Walking on Water. Smaller panels display symbolic icons like the Dove in Flight, the Rose of Sharon, and the Cross and Crown.

122 N. Eighth St. Window viewings open to visitors by appointment. Call (785) 825-0228 during weekday working hours. The Jacoby Art Glass Company of St. Louis created this church’s five stained-glass windows in 1913 with donations from the congregation. To complement the church’s architecture, Jacoby’s Dolores Veth would later design five large windows, using symbolic liturgical colors. Four of the windows contain a red cross and a “Winged Creature” representing an author of the Gospels: Matthew (Winged Man), Mark (Winged Lion), Luke (Winged Calf ) and John (Winged Eagle). The fifth window depicts an open Bible under the symbolic United Methodist flame. The Bible contains four tabs, marking the four chapters of the Gospel.
