Meeting Rooms and Facilities Use

Mount Airy strives to be an active part of the Ward 6 and Northwest One community and welcomes inquiries about use of our facilities.

Below are general guidelines for using Mount Airy facilities. Please contact the Trustee Ministry or call 202.789.0640 for further information and to make reservations.

Mount Airy is handicapped accessible. The accessible entrance is located at the front of the C. M. Long building on North Capitol Street NW. Inside there is elevator access to all floors (except the third floor balcony) and accessible restrooms.
 
There are six areas in the church that are available for community use:
  • The sanctuary (with amplification and seating for 1200)
  • The chapel (with amplification and seating for 100)
  • Fellowship Hall (Courtyard) on the first floor, (for up to 150 people, includes kitchen facilities)
  • Two small conference rooms (first accommodates up to 12 person, second up to 50 people with 32″ TV and DVD player) located on the second level
  • The Lower Auditorium (with amplification and seating for 250)

In general, groups must designate one person as its agent who will serve as the primary point of contact and complete an application that includes the name of the group and its agent, contact information, a description of the activity, the dates and duration of the activity and other relevant information.  

Permission to use church facilities will be given subject to the limitations of the facilities, previous commitments, and the intended use of church space. MABC reserves the right to cancel any arrangement for use of church facilities. A group that expressly plans or advocates violent protest will not be approved to use church facilities, and use of violence by any group will be grounds for expulsion.
 
Fees
 
Fees will be charged (payable in advance) to cover air conditioning or heat, light and maintenance of the space and so will vary with each request.
 
A security fee deposit will be payable in advance. This fee will be refunded in its entirety or in part depending on the condition in which the group leaves the facilities. If a group leaves the church facility in such a way that requires more cleaning time, the group will be assessed an additional fee at a nominal rate  per hour. Additional required maintenance and/or custodial services necessitate additional fees.  Please contact the Trustee Ministry at 202.789.0640 for specific fees and cost.
