Wallace Chapel, where the PAM Westminster community will worship together daily.

Interior of Wallace Chapel, looking towards the back balcony. Conference Choirs often sing from either the back or the front balconies. Not visible are the side balconies, a favorite spot for handbells during worship.

Eichenauer Dormitory, fondly known to PAM Conferees as “hike-an-hour”. (Good exercise, though!)
