Worship Venues

Tefft Chapel
The entire Canonicus site is a place of worship where one can commune with the Creator in an exquisitely unique and beautiful setting, on a trail, overlooking the property from the Pinnacle or just sitting and drawing in the beauty of Lake Adams

We offer two venues which are unique in their worship appeal.

Benediction Chapel

A beautiful open air chapel surrounded by quaint low stone walls and features a large wooden cross rising from the altar. 
Ideal for weddings, summer camp worship, a special worship venue.
Electrical power available. 
Quaint Prayer Island is nearby and assessable by a small foot bridge; the powerful Newport bell is nearby to ring out the call to worship or the rejoicing.

Tefft Chapel

Cedar shake exterior shingles, typical of New England architecture, are on the outside, with soft hued wood-paneling on the inside and comfortable seating.
An excellent all-weather venue for church worship, weddings or as an intimate setting for a meditative retreat or small group building. 

These two venues add a variety of possibilities for your event or retreat.  Almost all other buildings have been used in some worship context or another, but it is good to know that there are dedicated venues for meditation, praise, music and worship on our picturesque site.
