Frequently Asked Questions
The right pulpit chairs depend on your chancel’s size, layout, and the roles of those leading worship. Most churches choose a combination of celebrant (center) chairs and side (assistant) chairs, arranged in a balanced and dignified manner.
Celebrant or Center Chair
This is the primary chair, typically placed at the center of the platform. It’s often larger, more ornate, and may feature a crown back to symbolize the leadership role of the officiant.
Side Chairs
These are positioned to the left and right of the center chair. While still elegant, they’re slightly smaller and simpler, intended for deacons, associate ministers, or guest clergy.
Matching Sets
Many churches opt for a three-chair configuration, featuring a center chair flanked by two side chairs, for symmetry and liturgical balance.
The right choice depends on your sanctuary’s layout, seating needs, and your church’s traditions. For example, high-back pastor chairs offer symbolic weight and comfort during longer services, while minimalist side chairs are ideal for modern or smaller chapels.
When browsing pulpit chairs for sale, consider:
- Height of the platform and chairs - our pulpit chairs range from 41" to 54" in height
- Matching sets - we offer matching center and side pulpit chairs for a cohesive look
- Wood finish and upholstery - choose wood stain finishes and fabric colors that complement your sanctuary decor
- Shipping timelines and customization options
