About Our Facility

Our church facility includes a 740-seat Sanctuary that is home to a Casavant organ, a 50-seat chapel, a spacious Fellowship Hall, large kitchen, numerous conference and classrooms, and ample parking. In addition to supporting our worship, education, and fellowship activities, the church is a magnet for community activities and groups, and we provide space for concerts, recitals, and meetings of various sizes.

All use of the church's buildings and grounds must be scheduled through the church office, and groups other than church groups should complete a Facilities Use Application to request use of the church's facilities.
