Eastminster Architecture

In May of 1958, Eastminster members formed a building committee to design and build a permanent home.

Eastminster Presbyterian Church’s building at 1313 Abbot Road in East Lansing was designed by Alden Dow in 1959. Anyone interested in taking a tour of the building are welcome to come during office hours and we’d be happy to show you around.

The design and building was an intentional process begun by the elders of the church and carried through multiple phases to the present day.

  • Theological underpinnings
  • Alden Dow and his design philosophy
  • Eastminster Design phases
  • Pulpit, pews and cross
  • Architectural drawings
  • Building Pictures

**Special thank you to Doug King and Rev. Margie Osborn for compiling much of the information on the church’s architecture for its 50th anniversary in 2007.
