The 702 is the middle size in the Proclaimer range and the one most churches land on. Solid red oak top, base and columns framing a clear acrylic front panel, with wings either side that widen the piece to 54" without adding visual weight, the acrylic keeps the speaker visible rather than walling them off.
It is built at two heights on purpose: 46" on the congregation side, 43" on the pastor's side. The pulpit presents full height to the room while the reading surface sits lower and more comfortably for whoever is behind it.

WHICH SIZE DO YOU NEED?
The Proclaimer pulpits share the same design and finish, and differ mainly in width. All three stand 46" on the congregation side.
| Model | Overall width | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| 701 | 36" | Chapels and smaller platforms. No wings. |
| 702 (this one) | 54" | Most sanctuaries. Substantial without dominating. |
| 703 | 84" | Large sanctuaries and wide platforms. |
If you want the same look in white with a stained accent, that is the 702W. If your platform is tight and you want the smallest footprint in the range, look at the 704 Preaching Stand at 24" wide.
DELIVERY AND FIT
The 702 weighs 126 lbs and ships fully assembled by freight truck. The carrier calls ahead to schedule a delivery appointment, so plan on someone being there to receive it and two people to move it into position.
Measure your usable platform width before ordering. At 54" this needs real room either side to look right, and it needs clearance behind for the speaker to stand comfortably.
CHOOSING A STAIN
Light Oak #35, Medium Oak #43 and Dark Coffee #37 carry no additional charge. Twelve further colors are available at a 10% upcharge.
Ask us for free stain samples before ordering if you are matching existing pews. Wood takes stain differently from piece to piece, and a screen will not tell you what you need to know.
ADDING YOUR LOGO
Your church logo or seal can be applied to the acrylic front panel. Send artwork as a vector file (.ai, .svg, .eps, or vectorized .pdf), if you cannot produce one, get in touch and we may be able to help. Logo designs include up to three rounds of changes.
MATCHING PIECES
The Proclaimer range is a full sanctuary suite, all in the same red oak and acrylic and all finished in the same stain:
- 705 Communion Table: 50" wide, inscribed "This Do In Remembrance of Me"
- 707 Communion Table: the larger 70" version
- 704 Preaching Stand: a compact companion piece
- 708 Flower Stand
- 709 Baptismal Font: with a removable stainless steel bowl
- 702 Proclaimer Pulpit Set: the coordinated group, finished together for your convenience
Ordering the pieces together is the only reliable way to get every item stained in the same production run, which matters more than people expect on a platform where everything sits side by side and colors need to be precise.
