Frequently Asked Questions

Q: May we serve alcohol at our event?

Alcohol is not allowed on church campus. Please let us know if you intend to serve alcohol at your event so we may make special arrangements. Note that our campus is tobacco and drug free.

There is a large grass area behind the Wesson and Arnold meeting rooms that can be made available.
