church furniture

Altar and pews

Church furniture refers to the specialized furnishings found in houses of worship—pews, pulpits, altars, lecterns, communion tables, baptismal fonts, and choir stalls.

The term encompasses both functional seating and liturgical pieces central to religious ceremonies.

The congregation voted to replace the old church furniture with modern chairs.
