Accotink Unitarian Universalist Church (AUUC) facilities are available for rent to individuals and community groups when our facilities are otherwise not already committed.

Facility/Room Descriptions and General Requirements

Sanctuary/Gallery: The maximum occupancy for the sanctuary is 200 people. 100 movable chairs (not folding) are available for use within the sanctuary. An additional 25 chairs can be placed in the overflow area (gallery). The sanctuary can accommodate up to 15 six to eight-foot long tables, each seating eight people.

After use, all dishware, utensils, pots, etc. must be washed, dried, and returned to their original storage places. The Renter is only allowed to use the stove with express permission of AUUC.

Rental Reservation Process

For rental procedures, including rates, rules, and other information, see AUUC Rental Policy.

Please note that no events for a given church program year (September through August) will be scheduled prior to the annual calendar setting (May 1st of each year) so that consideration can be given to priority church-wide events.

A full calendar of activities, by room, is maintained on AUUC’s event calendar. Please first consult the calendar to determine if desired space may be available for the date(s) and times(s) needed.

AUUC members and friends wishing to rent space should first read the AUUC Rental Policy and then submit a calendaring request through the website reservation form.

Individuals and organizations not affiliated with AUUC should submit requests for a one-time rental on a specific date to the Congregational Administrator (CA) at administrator@accotinkuu.org or 703-503-4579. The CA can provide information on room availability, rental fees and set-up options and can schedule a tour of the building and/or grounds with our Building Facilities Manager.
