Facility Use Guidelines

We at Trinity see connecting with our community through sharing the use of our facility as part of our ministry in and to the City of Regina. We appreciate your interest in having an event in our building whether it be our beautiful sanctuary with its incredible acoustics, our versatile community gathering space at the rear of the sanctuary, or one of our smaller adjacent gathering spaces. Most of Trinity’s facilities are on a single level. There are three stairs to the dais at the front of the sanctuary, and 19 stairs to the choir loft. At the present time, our washroom facilities are not gender neutral, nor are they fully accessible for all different physical abilities and limitations. We are actively seeking funding so that we can address these needs with renovations which will make our space more accessible and hospitable. Any events taking place in Trinity’s building are also welcome to share our parking lot during the event.

We are eager to connect with the wider community by hosting events such as concerts, recitals, meetings, or family gatherings. As this is a part of our ministry, we do not have a set fee that we charge for the use of our space. There are, however, costs associated with keeping this building in a state of warmth and cleanliness that make it a welcoming, hospitable environment in which the community can gather. As such, we are providing these guidelines for suggested donations to help us keep Trinity a place where your events and our worship can grow and thrive for many years to come.

Our donation suggestions take into consideration the cost of heating/cooling, power, water, cleaning, and the Facility Manager’s time to set up, open, and close the facility. A building supervisor must be in attendance for all events.

Pastor and/or church council members may need to be consulted before your event booking can be confirmed.
