Frequently Asked Questions

Pricing and popularity information in this section is based on proprietary data from bookings made on Peerspace from 2016-2025.

Find a church space for rent in Washington DC

Churches are more than a weekend or wedding destination. These venues sit partially or fully unused for several days of the week, making them prime candidates for use at affordable rates. People and organizations can work with churches to host corporate events, provide a family reunion venue, organize a community fundraiser, or hold weekday Bible classes.
Depending on the church, you'll have access to amenities like kitchens, stages for presentations, spacious parking lots, and more. What sort of event are you looking to hold? Because we're sure there is a church in Washington, D.C. that's willing to accommodate it!

Explore church rental spaces in Washington DC

It's worth exploring each possible church rental space with care, both remotely and in person, before committing to one. They all have unique possibilities for a given event. For example, the First UCC DC is a church offering multiple event spaces for reservation. You can choose between the sanctuary, with room for up to 325 guests, the community hall for lectures and classes, the informal living room space, the lobby for gatherings, and the chapel/meeting room. The building is designed with the needs of diverse events in mind and has no permanent religious symbols displayed, broadening its appeal to secular audiences.
The First Church of Christian Science is another option, with intimate event spaces for up to 100 guests. Located in the heart of downtown Washington, D.C., the church offers amenities along with a reservation like wireless internet throughout the building, a galley kitchen, a nursery room, and several musical instruments, including a Steingraeber concert grand piano.

Church spaces for community events in Washington DC

Churches are a fixture of the local community and are a natural place for gatherings. Whether you've been a member of the church all your life or are just visiting from another part of town, churches are comfortable and familiar locations for most people. Churches are booked for community activist's meetings, as fundraising venues, for weddings, holiday parties, and kids' study groups. Talent shows will have easy access to a stage while club bake sales can be set up in the parking lot.
You may be able to book the entire church if the day's schedule allows for it and you need the space. Alternatively, you can book a single space within the venue, like the kitchen to feed the homeless or the chapel for a wedding. It all depends on your needs and how flexible the church is.
