Key points
- The mercy seat at the front of the hall provides a place for prayer, commitment and repentance.
- The bench is not a Communion table or an object with saving power.
- The Salvation Army, UK and Ireland Territory; United Kingdom. Contemporary schematic corps worship hall. This hall illustrates territorial worship guidance, not a measured corps building. Music, seating and furnishings differ by corps. The Army does not celebrate formal water-baptism or Communion rites; it emphasizes grace and sacramental living, and members may share Communion in other Christian gatherings.
- Coordinates, dimensions, materials, room envelope, seat counts and unspecified furniture placement are illustrative rather than surveyed measurements. Teaching sources establish practices, not architectural dimensions. Service equipment is temporary where labeled.
