In 1995, Ron Siebler was privileged to work with the congregation of Saint Thomas the Apostle Church of Dallas, helping to construct a new place of worship. The narthex and sanctuary were created by de-constructing the interiors of the existing chapel and sanctuary, and combining them into one room.

The Sanctuary and Narthex of Saint Thomas the Apostle Church

The new space was completely renovated with many special features, including a cathedral bead board ceiling, dormers, and stained glass windows. The work also included the design, construction, and installation a new oak cabinet for the pipe organ.

Working with volunteers from FUMC - Dallas, Ron supervised preservation efforts on the First United Methodist Church in Hutchins, Texas (Circa 1885). In 1985, the church was the location for the filming of "Papa was a Preacher". Rev. Bill Childers was the last full-time minister to serve the aging congregation. The church closed in 2004.
