In 2022 we finished construction on Hope Hall, our new gathering space for church and community events. It features a large space for events with, a projector, a sound system, microphones, and a seating capacity of 125. It also has a kitchen and two smaller rooms for breakout spaces. One of the ministries of our congregation is to offer the hall to community groups and nonprofit organizations at rates far below commercial event space rentals to help foster community in Charlotte.

The Third Place $40/hour
