Hospitality – One of Our Core Values
It would be a shame if our beautiful and spacious building were sitting empty during the week. We are pleased to be able to offer our facilities for community events and local nonprofits that need space.
In any given week, you’ll see many groups coming and going on our property: Head Start families, twelve-step groups, the Quarryland Men’s Choir, Kuksundo Club, Area 10 Agency on Aging Food Pantry volunteers, and many more. In the course of the year, over three dozen not-for-profit groups utilize our spaces.
We are often able to work with nonprofits to make sure they can afford to have their events here. Typically, nonprofit agencies are not charged a building use fee. Cleaning fees, when applicable, start at $75.
A Commitment to the Arts
We have long played host to many musical ensembles and student recitals in our sanctuary. Our space is known for its excellent live acoustics, and musicians are welcome to use our piano or organ (or bring in their own instruments, of course). Fees for building use begin at $125 with a cleaning cost of $75 when applicable. We recommend that you contact our office manager as soon as possible to see if our space is available for your event. You can see the schedule of upcoming recitals and concerts on our calendar.

A large space with tile floor, high ceilings, lots of natural light, and the ability to set up folding tables for dining/conversation (for as many as 125 people) or auditorium-style with rows of chairs. There is a large adjoining kitchen and direct access to our playground behind the church. You are welcome to bring your own sound equipment for this space.
