Our sanctuary seats up to 600 people on the main floor and 300 more in the balcony, but still manages to feel intimate. The total area on the main floor is 4,602 sq. ft. It’s a beautiful, airy space, with lots of natural light, and Corinthian columns spacing the balcony and main floor. This is our largest rental space available. Please note, we do not allow food or drinks in the sanctuary.

It is decorated simply and is a comfortable place for persons of all faiths or none at all. We welcome all. The pews are affixed to the floor, so cannot be moved, but are well spaced. This space is air conditioned and heated as needed. We have held many different types of events in the sanctuary, from religious ceremonies (such as weddings and memorial services), to concerts, graduations, discussion panels, author events, and more.

Our unique Reiger Organ, a resonate instrument that takes advantage of the amazing acoustics, is available for use for an additional fee (as is our baby grand piano). Our pulpit is a beautiful architectural choice, and is perfect for garlands of flowers, with altar nooks for flower arrangements.

Historic Pierce Hall was one of the first integrated movie theaters in Washington, DC. You can see the physical reminders of that theater in the balcony projection booth and the organ pipes gracing the wall to either side of the stage. The room is 40 feet by 60 feet (2400 sq. ft), and is able to accommodate the following: 350 people standing room only, 300 chairs only, 250 people at round tables and chairs. This is our second largest rental space available.

The stage is a perfect location for a guest speaker at a podium, a DJ or a live band, or a panel discussion with excellent natural acoustics in the room. There is also a basic sound system and a baby grand piano available for an additional rental fees. Pierce Hall also has easy access to our commercial grade kitchen for your caterer’s use.

[NB: Pierce Hall is not air-conditioned.]

The South Lawn, adjacent to 16th Street, is an intimate space enclosed by wrought iron fencing. While a bit noisy due to city street traffic, it’s a great spot for a less formal reception with live music. It is perfect for events with children, who can play while still under the watchful eye of parents. Electricity is also available in this space, easily allowing for decorative lighting or music equipment. Three folding picnic tables are available, and additional seating can be added.

The Dining Room, our third largest rental space, can accommodate 125 people standing, 100 chairs only, or 80 people at tables and chairs (total area is 1833 sq. ft). This room is ideal for more intimate events (such as birthday parties or baby showers), smaller discussion panels, or working meetings, as there are no natural acoustics in this room and larger gatherings will require sound amplification. If you’re looking to host a smaller sit-down meal, this is an ideal space for food service.
