Create the Perfect Ambo for Your Worship Space
In many churches, a beautiful ambo is an essential piece of worship furniture, a place of dignity for the minister of the Word. With traditional church interior design and architecture on the rise, you’ll want to be sure that any planned updates to your worship space includes the ambo as part of the total sanctuary furniture package.

Pulpit, Lectern, Ambo… What’s the Difference?
There is some disagreement—for both liturgical and simple preferred terminology reasons—about what makes an ambo different from a church pulpit (and different from a church podium or lectern, too). We won’t get into lengthy technical descriptions or a history lesson here, but on a practical level, an ambo in modern church interior design terms will be freestanding. It may be placed on a platform or elevated in some other way. It may also be moveable like a lectern or not, depending on a given congregation’s traditions.
In contrast, church pulpits tend to be physically attached to the church building in some way. Church pulpits are also designed to physically surround the worship leader and elevate them above the congregation, as well.
