With six separate gathering spaces, Common Street Spiritual Center is a valuable community resource that we are eager to share with others as resources permit.
Building use requests to host paid and/or private events are considered on a case-by-case basis. This includes:
- Private events such as weddings, birthday parties, coming-of-age ceremonies, and celebrations of life (available for members only)
- Events/classes/private sessions for paid attendees/students/clients
- Rehearsals/recitals for performing arts groups
All uses of our building must be in alignment with our mission and vision. Beyond that, the policies below serve as guidelines for our decision-making.
For Members
Resource-permitting, one-time and recurring rentals are available to members at the low rates listed below.
For larger events, member hosts are expected to do their own set up and clean up, or to request help from Center volunteers in exchange for an additional donation.
For the General Public
One-time rentals are typically not available to the general public, as they require more support than we can provide at this time. We are, however, favorably inclined to support groups wanting to offer religious and cultural events in a safe space.
Space-permitting, groups and individuals may set up recurring rentals (e.g. weekly, monthly) according to the non-member rates listed below. Beyond an initial orientation to the building, such agreements should not require any ongoing staff or volunteer support.
Room Rental Rates
The hourly rates below apply to set-up and clean-up time, as well as event time. Note that they are for building use only. Additional support fees ($30-50/hour) may apply if a staff member or volunteer is required on site to help with set-up, clean-up, A/V support, or security.
