UUCB is proud of our new building. In addition to being a busy congregation we welcome community groups into our space for meetings, presentations, concerts, and other events. Depending on availability, the church building and smaller spaces are available for rental.
The facility is fully handicap accessible and we maintain our commitment to being a welcoming community and operating sustainably; we are a Green Sanctuary certified by the Unitarian Universalist Association. Rental fees are based on the rooms used and the time required based on units of 4-5 hour blocks. Rates are scaled for nonprofit use and/or money-making activity.
We will do everything we can to make your use of our space convenient and comfortable, and we ask that users respect the facility, and follow the building use guidelines as described in Facility Rental Notes, and the UUCB Rental General Use Guidelines. We have separate rental applications for the following functions:
