Our stained glass windows reflect these same stories, reminding us that following Jesus transforms how we treat others. This is the kind of love He calls us to live every day.

When you work in what we call the “forever market”—stained glass, memorial products, and pieces meant to last for generations—you have to choose materials that truly hold up.
