St. Agnes Episcopal Church, as part of the All Saints Episcopal Community, is housed in a warm and welcoming building built in the late 1800′s.
The timber framed trusses are strong and beautiful inside, but the exterior entry was beginning to show signs of wear. Goshen Timber Frames stepped up to help last spring, replacing a brace that was showing signs of decay. 
When the Goshen crew installed the brace and top plate, they found rafters that needed to be replaced. Of course, being the Goshen crew, they knew that the only way to do the job right was to rebuild the porch. They handcrafted each post and beam, each brace and rafter, and installed a new porch on the historic building. The new porch will serve the community well for many, many years to come and was built in the spirit of the original, as a beautiful entrance to a lovely place of worship.
What a pleasure it was to work with the Reverend Dorrie Pratt, Rector of the All Saints Episcopal Community, and the parishioners of this lovely church! We encourage you to spend a Sunday morning worshiping with them.
