Seating
We are able to seat 1,000 people, which includes the main floor and balcony of the church.
Technical
We are equipped with power point capability in the sanctuary. Microphones and sound are available.
Lighting and Sound
Additional lighting and sound may be brought in for an event, but it is the responsibility of the user to order the equipment, arrange for delivery and return at their expense.
Instruments
We have a Bösendorfer grand piano and an electronic organ which may be used. Tuning of the piano is the responsibility and expense of the user. Additional instruments may be negotiated and brought in by the user at their own cost.
Chancel/Platform
We are able to remove the pulpit from this platform area. The piano and organ can be moved aside but not removed from the platform.
Choir Area
The choir area can reasonably accommodate 50-75 people maximum, standing on multi levels. Fewer if seating is required.
Set-Up and Take-Down
Setting up of an event is the responsibility of the user, as well as the take down. The custodian will supervise and is able to assist in most instances and within reason.
Availability
As a rule, the sanctuary is available most days or evenings of the week, EXCEPT Sunday morning and until 1:00 p.m. for the church service and congregational use.
There are also resident choirs who use the space during the week, which are pre-booked.
Cost
The cost for facility use is determined by the Rental Committee. Rates vary depending on the nature of the event, size of event, and ticket sales.
OTHER AREAS OF THE CHURCH
Other areas of the church are available for rehearsals, pre-concert assembly, concert receptions and community use. Kitchen facilities are available.
We have the capacity to accommodate large musical evevnts or groups of people.
