Nelson United Church is centrally located in the City of Nelson
and street parking is available in the neighbourhood.
We recognise the importance of providing access to our building
and sharing our space with those who need venues for
community and family events.
To make our facility available,
our Church Board has developed
a Facility Use Policy and rental fee schedule
to support the ongoing upkeep of our "Heritage Building".
Our Silica St. entrance to the Hall is wheelchair accessible.
The Sanctuary and Trinity Lounge are wheelchair accessible
through the Office entrance,
and there is limited space for an accessible parking area
at the back of the building.
The Fairview Room and St. Paul's Room, located upstairs, are not wheelchair accessable.
