Like First Baptist and Westminster United, Knox-Met has its interior arranged in the Akron Plan, a square auditorium the pews arranged in a fan shape[13] radiating out from the pulpit and portable communion table, perhaps making it more suitable a focus in congregational worship than the formal style of Anglican and Roman Catholic churches with their principle altar on the liturgical east wall and the clergy and assistants facing away from the congregation for the communion ceremonies.
In recent years of course the latter have moved their altars away from the liturgical east wall and closer to the congregation, faced by clergy throughout as was common in evangelical Protestant worship services.
