Since its founding in 1952, St. Martin’s Episcopal Church has grown to become the largest Episcopal church in North America, with more than 9,000 members.

Renfrow was initially tasked with creating wood decks that would span across the church’s courtyards.

To accomplish this, our team selected Thermory Ash as a medium due to its durable, smooth, and beautifully colored wood. It is not uncommon for this material to last up to 50 years.

As a result of the deck’s outcome, St. Martin’s also asked us to create custom forged and strapped door hinges, door pulls, a copper fountain feature, and bronze railing for the head priest’s personal balcony.
