Renting Space at Washington Plaza Baptist Church
Graduation party? Small group meeting? Short term classroom space? We have the space! Space is available at WPBC for single instance and longer term rentals. Below you will find a description of each of our available spaces and their hourly rental rates. Long term agreements are available by negotiation and contract. All rental rates are subject to change at the Church’s discretion. No third party rentals. Parishioners may receive significant discounts. Due to the age of our building, it is not equipped with elevators. There is also a set of stairs to get from Plaza/street level to the second floor of the building.
