Our building is open to the community
Hood River Alliance Church is glad to share our spaces with families, community groups, and organizations. Here you can see what's available, learn what we ask of everyone who uses our facilities, and request a space.

Using a space in our building
Use the Facility Use Request form for any event held at the church. If you need our tables, chairs, or sound equipment for an event here, you can ask for them on this same form.

Use the Resource Use Request form if you'd like to borrow items like tables, chairs, or crock pots for an event somewhere else.

Check availability
Each row is a room. Colored times show when that room is already in use. If the room you need is open at the time you want, it's a good time to request it.
Read the rows
Rooms are grouped by area, and each area has its own color. Click an area name to show or hide its rooms. The times listed are when that room is booked. "Open" means nothing is booked yet that day.
Private by design
We only show when a room is in use, never who is using it or what's happening there.
Open doesn't mean reserved
A time isn't held for you until your request is approved. Sunday mornings and church life events like weddings and funerals always come first.
What we ask of everyone
We're a Christian church, part of The Christian and Missionary Alliance. When you use our building, we ask that you and your guests respect our beliefs and follow a few simple standards.
Facility Use Standards
- Respect the beliefs and mission of Hood River Alliance Church while on our property.
- No activities that directly oppose our Christian beliefs and community standards.
- No alcohol, tobacco, vaping, cannabis, or illegal drugs anywhere on church property.
- No gambling, partisan political campaign activities, or sexually explicit material.
- Follow our policy on weapons.
- No open flames, fog machines, or fireworks without written approval, and no overnight stays.
- Minors may not be present without a supervising adult 18 or older.
- Leave the space clean and as you found it, and tell us right away about any damage.
Cleaning and deposits
Please clean up after your event: put away furniture and equipment, take out the trash, and leave restrooms clean. Depending on the space and activity, we may ask for a refundable cleaning deposit. It's returned in full when the space is left clean and undamaged.
| Space or activity | Deposit |
|---|---|
| Small room | $50 |
| Gym or Fellowship Hall | $150 |
| Kitchen (added) | $100 |
| Sanctuary | $250 |
| Food served or high-activity event (added) | $100 |
Sound and AV
Events using our audio/visual equipment need an on-site consultation with staff at least 15 days before the event. An HRAC AV technician will also be on site to run sound during your event.
Our AV technicians set aside their own time to help your event go smoothly, so we ask that you thank them with a direct payment for their service. HRAC does not collect this payment.
| AV technician | Minimum |
|---|---|
| Half-day event | $75 |
| Full-day event | $150 |
| Rehearsal on a separate day | $50/hour |
Insurance, children, and physical activity
- Organizations provide a certificate of liability insurance at least 7 days before the event, with at least $1,000,000 in liability coverage and $5,000 in medical payments coverage, naming Hood River Alliance Church as an additional insured.
- Groups serving children or youth follow HRAC's Child Protection Policy, including background checks for anyone working with minors.
- Sports, fitness, and other physical activity require every participant to sign our Activity Participation Agreement before taking part. A parent or guardian signs for anyone under 18.
Sharing our space
We believe our buildings are a gift from God, entrusted to us to steward well. Part of faithful stewardship is sharing what we've been given, so we're glad to open our doors as a way of blessing our neighbors.
Keeping these spaces heated, lit, clean, insured, and in good repair carries real costs. We know not everyone has the same means, and we never want cost to be a barrier. We simply ask that you give as you are able, to help keep these spaces available to our community in the future.
You can also place a check or cash in an envelope in the dropbox beside the main office door.
