Church Chairs vs. Pews
While pews have a traditional aesthetic, many modern churches are opting for chairs because they offer greater comfort and versatility. They are also more affordable. Classic pews are anchored to the ground and cannot be rearranged to host other types of community gatherings in your space. Church chairs, however, are lightweight and easy to move into different formations. Certain chair designs even allow for folding or stacking to maximize storage when you need an open space.
Choosing church chairs over pews does not come at the expense of stability. Selecting quality chairs over the heavier, bulkier bench-like design of pews can provide high load bearing thresholds in a much sleeker configuration.
Church Chair Sizes
Church chairs come in a variety of sizes, making it easy to find something that fits your congregation and prayer space. Browse our most popular church chair sizes to find your fit:
18.5-inch
The compact size of 18.5-inch-wide church chairs makes them easy to move, rearrange, and store. The smaller size also lets you fit more seats into the space to accommodate more people.
20 & 20.5-inch
20-inch and 20.5-inch church chairs provide a more spacious seat than the smaller 18.5-inch chair but have a slightly smaller frame than the largest 21-inch option.
21-inch
Our largest options, 21-inch-wide church chairs, have enough width to provide plenty of roomy seating. These large, durable chairs fit big, open venues and keep church members comfortable.
Types of Church Chairs
Does your church need fixed seating for regular services, or do you host events that require you to rearrange or store your chairs? Consider your most common church functions and explore a selection of church chairs with fixed, stackable, and foldable designs to best fit your needs.
Stacking Chairs
Comfortable and versatile, our stacking chairs are designed to easily pack away for storage, freeing up space when they’re not in use. For even more convenient storage, use our stack chair dollies to transport your church chairs wherever you need them.
Folding Chairs
Like stacking chairs, folding chairs are a great option when you need the versatility to clear some space or rearrange your seating layout. Folding chairs are also compact and lightweight, making them easy to set up and tear down. Use folding chair dollies for easy mobilization to indoor and outdoor events.
Church Chairs with Arms
Discover the ultimate comfort of church chairs with arms. While less compact than stacking and folding chairs, chairs with arms provide a cozy place to rest your arms for multi-use events such as services, gatherings, weddings, and more.

How to Configure Church Chairs
While shopping for new seating, you may be wondering how to arrange chairs in a church to optimize your space. The best seating arrangement for your church depends on the size and shape of your worship space, the number of parishioners in your congregation, the types of functions the church hosts, and the maximum occupancy determined by safety officials and regulations.
Which Seating Layout is Right for Me?
These are some of the most popular church seating arrangements:
- Classic straight rows – Traditional rows allow for the greatest amount of seating.
- Angled rows and curved arc – This option can provide a better view of the altar for those around the edges.
- Half-circle formation – If possible, chairs can be arranged in a half-circle to surround the altar and pulpit.
Church Chair Spacing
When it comes to the spacing between the chairs, you can leave at least a couple of inches on each side to allow for more personal space, or arrange chairs more closely to accommodate larger congregations and build a sense of community. We offer church chairs with built-in ganging — small hooks that allow chairs to safely connect. When you want to rearrange or store your chairs, simply disconnect the ganging for easy transport.
For spacing between the rows, leave enough room for people to walk comfortably to and from their chairs while others are seated. Approximately three feet between rows is a good guideline, but adjust as needed. If rows are especially long, consider adding aisles for easier access. Leave several feet open to clearly indicate an aisle space.
Affordable Church Chairs
Church Chairs 4 Less makes it easy to shop within budget by offering a range of prices, financing, and quantity break options. Shop by price with quality options starting at a low cost. We offer efficient shipping within the continental United States and a variety of payment methods including credit cards, checks, purchase orders, PayPal, and more.
Why Buy Church Seating in Bulk?
There are several advantages to buying in bulk. Inventory moves quickly, so buying all your chairs at once ensures you get the style and color you want. Buying in phases risks limited availability. Plus, bulk orders are delivered together, making setup easier and faster. Bulk purchasing also locks in pricing, protecting you from future price increases.
Additional Church Furniture
Furnish any church space or event with additional furniture, including reception and lobby seating, tables, desks, and more to create a welcoming environment.
Fellowship Furniture
For special events like banquets, meetings, weddings, and community gatherings, explore fellowship and banquet hall chairs and furniture. Folding tables and chairs, kitchen essentials, table linens, and bar stools are available to meet your event-hosting needs.
Durability and Warranty
At Church Chairs 4 Less, we offer quality chairs built for long-lasting comfort. Our sturdy frames and cushions withstand frequent use and rearrangement. If you receive a damaged or defective item, contact us to resolve the issue. For more details, see our warranty policy.
Church Chair FAQs
What are the best chairs for a church?
The best chairs depend on your space, seating capacity, functions, style preferences, and budget.
How do you clean church chairs?
Regular cleaning includes wiping hard surfaces and vacuuming upholstery. Spot clean as needed, especially after busy events. Use a soft cloth to dab spills. Consider chairs with cured foam seats for better liquid resistance.
How can you decorate church chairs for a wedding?
Simple decoration ideas include:
- Twining ribbon around chair backs
- Tucking flowers into pockets or book racks
- Adding tulle and floral arrangements to row ends
How do you calculate the seating capacity of a church?
- Check the maximum occupancy (use 7 square feet per person as a guideline).
- Allow comfort space (15 square feet per person is ideal for spaces under 300 people).
- Choose seating layouts accordingly (straight rows maximize seating, curved rows use more space).
- Keep extra folding or stacking chairs on hand for overflow.
Do churches rent out tables and chairs?
Some churches allow members to rent tables and chairs for special events. A rental policy is recommended if you choose to do this.
