SPACE USE CALENDAR.
SPACE USE MINISTRY.
Lutheran Church of the Reformation is pleased to make its facilities available to many groups and individuals in our Capitol Hill community. Examples include national organizations seeking a nearby meeting space and “home-away-from-home” for volunteers they are bringing in to lobby Congress, musical groups such as the Capitol Hill Chorale and DC Different Drummers who rehearse at Reformation on a weekly schedule, to our community Boy and Girl Scouts, AA groups, small yoga, and meditation classes, and Capitol Hill families looking for a place to hold their child’s birthday party. Please contact our community host with inquiries.
REQUESTING A RESERVATION.
If you are interested in using our facilities, please:
​
-
Check our Space Use Calendar to see if the room you are interested in using is reserved for another group
-
Submit a space use request form.
We strive to meet and welcome you with hospitality, however, we are not a professional conference or retreat center and there may be a few days delay in responding to your request.
FACILITIES INCLUDE:
Sanctuary – Our largest meeting space with seating for 450. This is ideal for concerts, panel discussions, or town-hall meetings with limited speakers, or other gatherings where a stage and fixed seating is desired.
Parish Hall – This is our most flexible space and includes access to the church kitchen. Tables and chairs can be set up to accommodate approximately 160 people seated, in addition to tables set up “buffet style” for food or beverages. Groups are welcome to self-cater or work with a professional caterer. A limited sound system, projector, and projector screen are available.
Shalom Room – This is a large open room with a few couches and is often set up with tables and chairs. Tables and chairs can be set up for a panel discussion, round table meetings, or small group discussions. This room can accommodate approximately 40 people.
Nursery – This room is most often used by a playschool co-op during the week and our youngest members on Sundays. There are toys for small children belonging to the co-op that stay in this room and should be left alone unless permission to move or use them is granted. Due to severe allergy risk, this is also a "nut-free" zone, so no food items brought into this room can contain peanuts or tree nuts
Fireside Room – A quiet space that contains couches and chairs around coffee tables. This can also be used as luggage storage, as it is near the Parish Hall.
Library – Another quiet space with a meeting table and room for about 10 people around it. Ideal for business and board meetings. Alternatively, it can be used as luggage storage as it is directly next to the Fireside Room (above) and near the Parish Hall.
Blue Room – A small room adjoining the Main Front Entrance (lobby) and Sanctuary, with standing capacity up to 40. Ideal as a small reception space or for small press events.
Chapel – A small chapel with an east-facing wall altar that seats about 15 people. It is a quiet space on the sanctuary level that can be less interrupted by other groups and goings-on in the church
