Rental Information

 

 

The Church building is available for rent for non-denominational wedding ceremonies.  The seating in the Church is unique because the old wooden seats are arranged in a opera style semi circle with a center aisle and the floor slopes gradually towards the altar area.  The pews can seat 113 people with additional space to set up folding chairs.  Beautiful woodwork and stained glass windows make the Church a unique setting for a wedding ceremony.  The Church is handicapped accessible for visitors and guests to gain entrance into the main floor of the Church. 

 

The rental fee is $150.00 which includes use of the church building the day before the ceremony for decorating and rehearsal.  A $50.00 non refundable deposit is due when the booking is confirmed. 

 

Decorating arrangements are the responsibility of the wedding couple.  A list of flower shops in the surrounding area can be provided if needed. 

 

The following local magistrates are available for wedding ceremonies but any clergy or magistrate may be used.  The wedding couple is responsible for making their own magistrate or clergy arrangements and for the payment of the fee.
