Our Facilities The current Nativity sanctuary was built in 1902, approximately twenty years after the establishment of the congregation, in the heart of downtown Greenwood. The Gothic architecture, traditional wood pews, and series of stained glass windows create an awe-inspiring and welcoming space for worship. The sanctuary seats 230 people, including a choir. While the sanctuary is the location of services at Nativity, on any given Sunday, one can find many members visiting, eating breakfast, and enjoying fellowship in the parish hall. Constructed in 2009, the Great Hall can seat 250 people around circular tables and is outfitted with audio and projection equipment. Attached to the parish hall is a full-functioning kitchen furnished with Viking appliances. Adjacent to the parish hall is the Youth Ministry Center and Scout Hut, the home of a local Boy Scout troop. Nativity’s Columbarium and Memorial Garden were added to its courtyard in 2014, and were dedicated in 2015.
