The Red Doors on our Church are much more than a bold color statement; they are a profound symbol of our Christian heritage and faith.

In earlier times, people in danger or suffering oppression knew they could seek refuge within a church. It was termed the Right of Sanctuary and not even a king's agent could pursue someone who had entered a church.

Gradually, churches began the practice of painting their doors red. Some say it was done to indicate the Holy Spirit's presence, while others maintain it was to signify the Blood of Christ and the Christian Martyrs. There is even a suggestion that it may have been done for a much more secular reason, so people could easily spot the doors and flee directly to them when in danger.

However, one thing is certain; the Red Doors became a widely accepted symbol of refuge and sanctuary, proclaiming that the ground beyond them was holy and anyone who passed through them was safe from harm.

Over time, Christian people began to see the Red Doors as connoting not only physical safety, but spiritual refuge as well.

Today, we hope and pray that our Church can be a place of refuge, where everyone's worth and dignity is recognized, appreciated and protected.
