This is a unique place. Tiffany windows, a beautiful sanctuary with a gorgeous altar, painted ceilings, tiled floors, an ornate pulpit and totally cool baptismal font. Unlike any other church in the area. The current small congregation struggles to fund maintenance of this church on the National Historic Registry. The tour is free, but consider making a donation. I'm sure it will be appreciated. I interacted with several church members. All were extremely friendly and welcoming and our guide seemed very knowledgeable.

This absolutely beautiful church and its members were so welcoming to me and my friends for Sunday service.

We toured the church on a Saturday (9/13/14) and thoroughly enjoyed the visit. The history of the church was fascinating. Tour guide was very knowledgable and informative. The church is built into the side of the mountain. The imported floor tile, Tiffany stained glass, the 1912 Otis Elevator and other details were amazing. They charge $5 per person for the tour and if you are in Jim Thorpe and see the sign out front that says "Open" you MUST stop in and take the tour!

Beautiful stained glass, altar, and woodwork adorn this beautiful place of worship. We were fortunate to get a private tour just by asking

This was a great little tour; the church is a historical landmark with a wonderful history and a wonderful story. The fee is a $5 donation per person; but it's definitely worth the price of admission. Tiffany windows adorn the windows and the tile floors are magnificent.

Stained Glass Windows, the whole architecture is amazing. Even has an elevator put in by Mary Packer Cummings.

Recently visited Jim Thorpe to ride the Lehigh Gorge railway and see the fall colors. After the train ride, stopped in the church and were very glad we did. Took the tour with a guide that knew everything there was to know about the church. VERY interesting and learned a lot about the history of the town as well. There are a number of Tiffany stained glass windows, including a large one made by Tiffany himself that has several unique features and is valued in the millions of dollars. Allow 20-30 minutes.

The church is one of a kind ... Stained glad is exquisite! I hope that the original entrance can be restored via historical funding.

This is one of the most beautiful churches I have seen...period!The fact of the stunning brass work, the pipe organ, and the over quality of thecraftmanship and design of the building makes a must see. Plus the engineering challenge of building and incorporating the church into the side of a mountain is amazing. Then think of this. The church boasts of the 2nd oldest enclosed elavator in the US! Major coolness points!

It's a lovely church with a pretty cool history. Our guide was very young and nervous (he said it was only his third tour). He gave a decent tour all things considered and we enjoyed seeing the stained glass windows. The upstairs baptismal was really neat too.My only issue was the constant hard selling to go to a mass ceremony the next day. I'm not a religious person at all and I just wanted to see the building as a piece of architecture not a holy experience. But he was very nice about it and wasn't the least bit offensive...just a bit pushy.
