Gym and Space Use
Our church is blessed to have a big building that includes many classrooms, a full-sized gym, and a commercial kitchen. We love opening our building to serve our community and regularly host sports teams, recovery groups, and scout troops. Space is also available for birthdays, parties, and other fun occasions.
Please refer to the information below to learn more about our gym, including how to reserve space. If you have questions about a reservation, contact our Gym Coordinator, Walter Shanahan, through email or phone. We look forward to seeing you soon!
Immanuel's gym is used by the church as well as by sports groups, community groups, and families for a variety of needs.
Originally built in 1967, the gym has ample bleachers for spectators, and is quite nostalgic. It comes with plenty of chairs and tables as well as an adjoining kitchen (which is available for a small extra fee). It is fully heated, well lit, and has plenty of parking available.
If renting in hot weather, please be aware that the gym is not air conditioned. While all efforts are made to cool the space with fans and ventilation, it sometimes can be pretty warm during heat spells.
Anyone! Sports groups often use the gym for basketball, volleyball, soccer, lacrosse, and baseball. The gym is also available for meetings, ceremonies, parties (especially birthdays!), dances, and scouting activities. Recurring gatherings are welcome too!
The gym hosts many church-related activities, but is readily available for private rental throughout the week. It is used by our church on Sunday mornings and by Immanuel Lutheran Nursery School on weekdays from 7:30am to 5:30pm.
Generally the gym is available on weekdays after 5:30pm until 10:00pm. It is also open from 7:00am through 10:00 pm on Saturday and from 12:30pm to 10:00 pm on Sunday. Time slots are reserved from as little as a half-hour up to whatever is needed (within the available hours). On very rare occasions, the church may need to use the gym on short notice (for instance, for a funeral reception). If this should happen, any effected groups will be notified immediately.
