Dear Greg,
I remember on that Wednesday, When you and your team were installing our beautifully renovated Pews, Making my way into the First Presbyterian Church sanctuary. The whole team was working so hard . It was late in the evening; the energy ebbing and the team going through the motions to get the job done. I was appreciative of the work.
As I made my way from the chancel to the narthex, I was overwhelmed by what was really happening. Sure, the workers were proudly installing the refurbished pews; but something far greater was taking place.
Over the last 150 years, people throughout Kern County have made their way into the sanctuary of First Presbyterian. The pews have served as “holy ground.” Men and women have made their way into our sanctuary burdened and overwhelmed only to experience hope, comfort, and peace amid their trying circumstances. Dads have walked their daughters down the aisle; friends and family sitting in the pews witnessing and celebrating the covenant between bride and groom. How many have sat in those pews grieving the death of a parent, spouse or child? How many messages have offered hope to those who felt hopeless? How many changed lives? How many delivered from addiction? How many budding friendships?
Greg, I don’t know if you and your team realize it, but as you installed the pews, you were preparing a place for God to show up. You were setting the table for something powerful to happen. When the people of God gather, God shows up. God shows up when a song is offered in praise; when a life is dedicated to Christ; every time words from scripture are read; and, of course, when tears are shed from a broken heart… God shows up!
Thank you for your attention to detail and commitment to excellence in regards to the pews. But, more importantly, thank you for setting the table for people to experience the presence and peace of God.
Blessings,
Dr. Jeff Chandler
Senior Pastor
First Presbyterian Church, Bakersfield
Dear Gregory,
On behalf of the Delano Apostolic Church, we want you to know we sincerely appreciate doing business with your company.
Although, for a second when they opened the truck and I saw all the chairs, I panicked and asked are these going somewhere else? And they said yes, to Lemoore. Quickly my blood pressure went back to normal. 😊
Pastor Clyde and our First Lady, Sister Monica were so impressed with the level of detail and the quality of service. We absolutely LOVE the pews! Your entire staff: Juan, Richard, Rusty, Adan, Armando & Izzy worked so hard and they were so organized. It was just amazing watching the process from start to finish.
Once again, thank you and we want you to know how pleased we are with the outstanding service you have given us.
Sincerely,
Sandra Jimenez, Church Treasurer
“On behalf of the congregation and committees, I say a sincere THANK YOU for the beautiful new pews we have in our church! Also, on a special note, your installation crew did an impressive job of assembly and installation. They were a motivated crew. It has been a rewarding experience dealing with all the courteous and professional staff at Cardinal Church Furniture, and we will certainly contact you for future needs”!

“Just a few lines to say: THANKS for a beautifully done job. It’s a brand new sanctuary as far as we’re concerned! The color of the material, the texture, the quality of the fabric and the professional attitude of the team involved: it all speaks very highly of your organization. When our people walked into the building on the Sunday morning following the re-installation of the pews, they were amazed. It looks beautiful with the matching of the new carpet. Please give my regards to all involved”

From my perspective, I want you to know that the process your firm went through to completely refurbish and install our church pews was fabulous; in fact it was almost unbelievable. Time schedules were met all of the way. On last Sunday’s first unveiling to the congregation, everyone was awed by the beauty and it was just that. I want to thank you and have appreciated our relationship to date.

You are probably accustomed to many of your customers expressing satisfaction with the work you do. We are no exception. The chairs came out even better tan I had anticipated. A number of the students here expressed doubt about the use of chairs in our chapel. However, those doubts have been put to rest. I look forward to a new school year and the excitement of our new chapel. Thank you for the good and timely work. You can be assured that I well recommend your company to others.
Rev. William Messenger, Pastor, Director

Please know how well pleased we are with the solid oak pews and the 100 beautifully cushioned chairs we purchased from Cardinal. From the beginning, Albert Salcido, your Northern California rep. was one of the reasons we chose Cardinal. He was very thorough. The installers were excellent and precise. Customer satisfaction was priority, thank you! The name “Cardinal” means “basic importance…main…chief…primary” that’s you.
