church halls

Congregation meeting spaces

Church halls are multipurpose rooms attached to or associated with churches, used for community gatherings, meetings, receptions, and social events rather than worship.

They host everything from wedding receptions to bingo nights to AA meetings: The potluck dinner was held in the church hall.

The term suggests a modest, functional space available to the congregation and often the wider community.
