Upon entering you will be blessed with a perfect mix of modern and historical features. The main chapel is sure to inspire awe as it has been restored to its previous grandeur with comfortable furnishings and modern touches. The main level sanctuary is a wide-open space that provides a one-of-a-kind experience. A massive 86” television projecting over the original repurposed alter to enjoy game day, a movie, or use it as an oversized monitor for a presentation! Here you’ll also find a magnificent 10 ft snooker pool table. It’s a rare and unique table that will test your billiard skills on what will be the most challenging game you’ve ever played!

One of our favorite features here cannot be seen, only heard! The church has a Sonos sound system for your group to enjoy the magical acoustics only found within a church. If you prefer some quiet time, you’ll be happy to see a lovely library area with comfy seating complete with 12’ shelving, stocked full of books, covering every subject you can think of. A marble chess table with throne style seating will draw you in for hours of strategy. Lastly you can enjoy dining at our magnificent 12 ft. round dining table which conveniently seats 13 people.

The spacious lower level provides additional room to spread out and relax. Here you’ll find a gorgeously updated kitchen complete with custom cabinets and professional grade appliances, a dining area with a farmhouse table that seats 10 and a cozy living area with the original (updated) fireplace.
