Northbrae, like all religious and community service organizations is continually struggling to make ends meet. We feel our fees are reasonable both for the church and for the community groups seeking meeting spaces. If your group would like to be considered as part of Norlhbrae's Benevolence Program (subsidized use of facilities) please make application in writing.

You may be asked for an additional damage/cleaning deposit of $200 for Haver Hall, Parlor or Chapel, refundable within thirty days after the event if your use conforms to the arrangements made and there has been no damage to our furniture or facilities . Charges for additional use, damage and additional cleanup may be deducted from the damage deposit refund unless other arrangements are made to cover additional charges incurred as a result of your group's use. The church may waive either or both deposit requirements at its option .
