We offer many rooms for meetings, gatherings, events, and parties for our members, not-for-profits, for-profits, government groups, and community organizations. In order to rent space at United Churches, user groups must submit an application and supporting documents (subject to approval). Audio/visual equipment is available in some spaces upon request and upon availability of our media technician.

Parking
The United Churches is located across the street from the Washington State Capitol campus. Parking is limited in the area. Please plan your visit accordingly.
Please note that parking is NOT available on-site. Church parking spaces are reserved for leased tenants and Church business from 6:30 am until 6:30 pm, Monday-Friday. Spots are labeled accordingly in both of our lots - "TENANTS/# spots" and "CHURCH". ADA parking is available with a proper placard. Participants attending your event will need to park off the church property. Mass transit/carpooling is highly encouraged. Metered street parking and Capitol Campus parking are available near the church, but it is not guaranteed. For a list of options, please review the following websites.

DECLARATION THAT UNITED is a GUN-FREE ZONE: Believing a gun-free environment is best for the safety and the spiritual framework for our congregational life and mission, the United Churches of Olympia (UNITED) declares its physical premises to be a gun-free zone. UNITED supports thoughtful and common-sense steps to reduce the threat of gun violence within our neighborhood, community, and congregation. UNITED does not oppose gun ownership. However, we do believe excluding firearms here assists in creating and supporting an environment that increases safety for all. On-duty law enforcement officers are exempt from this policy.
ACCESSIBILITY
United Churches is continually seeking to make our facility accessible to everyone who enters. We have three accessible parking spaces, ADA entry points for the upper and lower floors, and accessible bathrooms including an ADA accessible all-gender restroom. We will be installing an elevator in Fall 2025 to assist those with mobility concerns.
