Delivering a powerful message starts with the proper setup. Whether you’re sharing scripture, sermon notes, or leading worship, an appropriately sized and beautifully crafted wooden church lectern makes all the difference. If your podium is too small, the wrong height, or outdated, it can distract from your message.
At New Holland Church Furniture, we have a church lectern for sale that is specifically designed and built to match your space, furnishings, and congregation’s unique needs.

What’s the Difference Between a Podium and a Lectern?
People often use “podium” and “lectern” to mean the same thing, but there’s a slight difference:
- A podium is a raised platform that a speaker stands on.
- A lectern is a tall stand or desk that a speaker stands behind.
No matter your style or space, New Holland Church Furniture offers a range of podiums and wooden church lecterns for sale to suit your needs—whether you’re looking for something simple and classic or more detailed and decorative. Every piece is custom-built by skilled artisans to complement your sanctuary’s design and purpose.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you offer church pew refinishing or reupholstery?
Yes, we provide expert pew reupholstery services to refresh the look and feel of your sanctuary. Over time, pew cushions lose their resiliency, and fabric may become outdated.
Our team replaces worn foam with high-quality padding and applies new, durable fabric using hydraulic stretching to eliminate wrinkles. It’s a cost-effective way to make your seating look and feel new, without replacing the entire bench.
Can you restore antique pews or synagogue benches?
Yes, we can restore or creatively repurpose antique pews and synagogue benches to preserve their beauty and history. One example is our work with St. Paul the Apostle Catholic Church in Spartanburg, SC. When their beloved 250-seat historic church could no longer accommodate their growing congregation, a new church was built. Honoring their heritage, 140-year-old pew ends were refinished and combined with new pew bodies, blending old-world charm with new life for future generations.
How long does it take to build custom pews or lecterns?
Timelines vary depending on the project’s size and complexity. Although we didn’t specify lead times in the provided content, our decades of experience enable us to deliver high-quality, handcrafted furniture efficiently. Contact our team to discuss your project and receive a more accurate estimate based on your specific needs.
What wood options are available for church lecterns and pews?
We offer a variety of hardwoods, including red oak, white oak, maple, and more, for lasting beauty and strength. Choose from a wide range of wood stain finishes, including warm tones like Honey Gold and Danish Walnut or deeper shades like Cordovan and Mahogany, to match your sanctuary’s style.
Do you build ADA-compliant or accessible furniture?
Yes, we can design and build ADA-compliant church furniture to accommodate all members of the congregation. Whether you need wheelchair-accessible pews or custom lecterns with ergonomic features, we’ll ensure your worship space is welcoming and inclusive for everyone.
Is It Time to Invest in a New Church Lectern?
If your current lectern is outdated, burdensome to use, or no longer fits your sanctuary’s style, now is the time to upgrade! We have a wooden church lectern for sale that enhances your space and allows your message to shine.
From consultation to final delivery, our experienced team will work closely with you to create a custom piece that aligns with your vision, supports your worship style, and reflects the heart of your congregation.
