Facility Usage/Rentals

We are currently accepting inquiries for reservations but are not able to host showers and parties in our Fellowship Hall.

As a ministry and service to our community, Woodbrook Baptist Church welcomes several organizations for meetings and musical performances. Scheduling is dependent on availability with priority being given to activities of the church and requests from members of the congregation. The Board of Trustees has established requirements and guidelines for groups using church facilities.

  • Include name of the group, nature of the use being requested, desired date and time of use, and contact information.

  • Requests from non-church groups should be received by the 15th day of the month in advance of the desired date of use to allow for coordination with the church calendar.
