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/Stage

The pulpit/lectern is on wheels and can be moved between the stage and main floor. The organ normally resides on the main floor, and can be re-positioned in front of or to the side of the stage. The piano normally resides on the stage and can be re-positioned. It can be moved to the main floor using only professional piano movers, and must be returned to the stage, both moves at the cost of the user.

Choir Area

The choir area can reasonably accommodate 50-75 people, up to 90 in a squeeze, standing on multiple 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, and on Sundays only after 1:00 p.m., notwithstanding regular evening bookings by resident choirs.

Cost

Rates vary depending on the nature of the event, non-profit status, size of event, and whether or not tickets will be sold.  Please inquire with the Rental Coordinator.

Other Spaces

Other areas of the church are available for meetings, rehearsals, pre-concert assembly, concert receptions and community use. Kitchen facilities are available.

We have the capacity to accommodate large musical events or groups of people.

Availability and costs for space, in addition to the main sanctuary/church, apply and should be requested when inquiring or booking.
