The expansive main level offers approximately 10,000 square feet and includes the former sanctuary, generous gathering and banquet spaces, kitchen area, offices, multiple restrooms and additional flexible rooms. Additional square footage in the basement, complete with walk-up access, provides even more room to create, expand and transform.
