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.

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 have pre-booked the space for rehearsal during the week.
Cost
The cost for facility use is determined by the Rental Committee. Rates vary depending on the nature of the event, non-profit status, size of event, and whether or not tickets will be sold.
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.
