Rental of space at First United Methodist Church is available to members and non-members alike.  Being a historic building, the church interior and grounds have been beautifully maintained and offer an unusual setting for programs needing a midtown location. Many non-profit organizations use the facilities for meetings and conference type events.  Weddings and memorial services are part of the worshipful services which can be arranged through the church office (916-446-5025).

First United Methodist Church offers wedding packages with services offered in the large Sanctuary which accommodates up to 550, including its balcony; the Chapel which will accommodate up to 90 persons; or the Library that will accommodate a small group of up to 20.  Each package includes all fees (pastor, organist, wedding coordinator, rehearsal time, space, ceremony) connected with the use of the various spaces.  The couple would be married by a Methodist minister.

A Funeral or Memorial Service for members and non-members of First United Methodist Church can also be arranged through the church office (916-446-5025).   There is a fee for the pastor, organist and space used.  The pastor meets with the family to arrange a special and meaningful service and the church staff coordinates the needs of the family with regard to set-up.  Reception space is also available for those wishing to offer light refreshments and a time to visit with the family after the service.

There are a number of well-maintained rooms which can be rented during the day or evening by non-profit groups and other community organizations depending on availability.  Arrangements for space, its set-up, and security are arranged through the church office (916-446-5025).  Fees are attached to each room and must be collected in full two-weeks prior to the event.
