Space Sharing
In it's Space Sharing program, Unity Lutheran Church fulfills three of its core values, "Welcoming Everyone," "Caring Community," and "Engaging Our Neighbor."
We partner with non-profits, family and friends in our neighborhood to share our building for those not wishing to, or not able to, maintain their own space. A fee is charged to cover our utility and maintenance costs. We're happy to work with you.
We have a beautiful gathering space that has excellent acoustics, a Gym, and a variety of meeting rooms. See some of our Space Sharing Partners here.
Partner with Unity, your Community Center!

What is Unity's interest in space sharing?
Unity Lutheran Church, established in 1905, has gone through many natural transitions in its life. Once a thriving immigrant congregation, today our gathering reflects the diversity of our community who are proud to share our building spaces to strengthen and support our neighborhood. We wish to fulfill our core values of "welcoming everyone," "caring community," and "engaging our neighbors".
