If your church is contemplating buying replacement church chairs or redecorating your sanctuary, there are three primary seating options to choose from: moveable, stacking church chairs; stationary pews, and stationary theater-styled seating. When deciding which of these options is best, several factors come into play such as: the needs of your church, the style you're trying to accomplish, and the cost.
When evaluating your seating options, cost should not be the primary factor when making your purchase. Although price is very important, it helps to think of the cost per person seated, rather than per item. When you take into consideration the cost factor of "per person seated," church chairs are the most economical. Prices for stationary pews will be more expensive, though they have a long lifecycle and will require minimal maintenance. Stationary theater-styled seats are an expensive option for church seating, but they can comfortably seat more people than pews can.
In making a decision about your church seating, also consider the needs of your congregation. Be sure to keep them in the loop and involved in the decision-making. If your worship space is used for multiple purposes and not just the Sunday morning worship, it may make more sense to have the flexibility and versatility of movable, stackable church chairs. Additionally, you could easily place church chairs with arms among armless church chairs for members of the congregation that need assistance. An added benefit of movable church chairs, is that they can easily be arranged to accommodate members who need wheelchair access.
Finally, you may want to consider the aesthetics and traditions of your church. If your church has a very traditional congregation, you may favor the classical appearance of stationary pews. If your church has a large membership and needs to seat thousands of people comfortably, fixed theater seating is a viable option. If your sanctuary serves multiple purposes such as services, fellowship, and dining, church chairs would be the likely choice.
Since every church is different, your final decision should be reflective of the unique and sensitive needs of the church.
