The Olympia Unitarian Universalist Church’s primary purpose is to carry on the mission and ministry of the Congregation. The Olympia Unitarian Universalist Congregation has an active ministry to children, youth, adults, and senior adults. It has significant outreach to the community. Our music program is one of the finest in the city. Programs and people are our top priorities when it comes to building use.
The Olympia Unitarian Universalist Congregation provides a limited number of community organizations with ongoing use of the church. Other organizations and individuals use our facilities on a one-time-only or short-term basis. If additional space is available, then priority is given first to nonprofit groups that are supported by the Congregation and second to other nonprofits. Our tax status mandates that we can allow for-profit organizations to use the facilities only for a limited number of days per year.
The use of the Building and Grounds is managed by the Office and Facilities Manager. If you wish to check for date availability prior to filling out any forms, please call the OUUC office at 360-634-2005 or email office@ouuc.org. Once you’ve decided on a date for your event and cleared it with the office, you’ll need to read OUUC’s rental usage guidelines and email or drop off completed ‘Required Information’ and ‘Release of Indemnity’ forms (under the ‘Rental Forms’ downloadable link below). Once you’ve been approved for the rental date, you’ll need to provide the OUUC office with proof of event insurance and pay required fees within a week of the rental event. Members and pledging friends of the congregation are not charged rental fees for personal use of church facilities for life passage events (weddings and memorials) and do not need to furnish proof of event insurance.
