Our Spaces
Though the primary purpose of our building is to serve as a meeting place for our Fellowship, we make spaces available to community organizations and groups for uses compatible with our mission and vision, as well as for weddings and other social events. Our non-profit status limits the amount of corporate events we can host. See our Building Tour for a quick walk through of spaces. Below you'll find descriptions of each space and photos of setups for events.
Pete Seeger Gathering Hall
The central area of our building, it is open to the wide entry hall and connects with the sanctuary through 12-foot wide sliding doors, to the Linus Pauling Hall and The Founders’ Fireside Room through double doors, and to the kitchen through a pass-through. It is full of light and opens to the south terrace through wide sliding doors. Typically it has three large tables on wheels which can be moved as needed. The Gathering Hall is an excellent place for receptions, dining, conferences, meetings, and socializing. When additional space is needed, overflow can expand into the sanctuary, Fireside Room, or out to the terrace.

Sanctuary
Designed to have excellent acoustics for speech and music, this is an adaptable space for worship services, ceremonies, lectures, concerts, meetings, and receptions. A mass wall on the south allows glimpses of trees while providing a means to mitigate temperature fluctuations and make energy use more efficient. Windows on the north wall look out to a grove of ponderosas. Twelve rows of chairs are typically arranged in slight curves with a center aisle, but are easily movable. The stage is 26-inches above the sanctuary floor and has connections in three areas for A/V needs. It is reached directly by steps, or an ADA ramp south of the mass wall.
