church hall
Congregation's meeting space
A church hall is a room or building attached to or associated with a church, used for community gatherings, meetings, receptions, and social events rather than worship.
Sunday school classes meet there, as do scout troops, support groups, and wedding receptions: The potluck dinner will be held in the church hall.
