Meeting Spaces

We have eight meeting spaces available for rental. Capacities range from 15 to 800 people, and can be used for meetings, lectures, receptions, conferences, and other functions. All our spaces are wheelchair accessible. Our location in the heart of Back Bay provides easy access to nearby hotels and restaurants, and the convenience of public transportation. A usage fee is charged, which includes setup, teardown, custodial staff, and front desk support. WiFi is available throughout the building.

Among the many organizations that meet regularly at the church are Alcoholics Anonymous & Al Anon, Boston Gay Men’s Chorus, Boston Toastmasters, Groovy Baby Music, Long Term Survivors Support Group, Super Soccer Stars, Snowden International High School, and Weight Watchers. Old South also hosts a range of short-term and one-off events, from the Boston Book Festival to film crews shooting in Boston.
