Our goal is to provide a venue and environment for high-quality art, music, and theatre that is overlooked, under-appreciated, or otherwise marginalized by main-stream complacency.
We are artist friendly and relatively low-cost. Our chapel has excellent acoustics and seats up to 100 people. The possibilities are limited only by your imagination.

Calendar of Upcoming Events

Time is up for the Church! don't miss out on any of the upcoming engagements for they will be among the last due to imminent reorganization, re purposing, relocation, reconnoitering, retooling,

and ongoing retardation.

as many of you know by now, the church will be ceasing operation as a music venue for a while pending compliance with various ordinances, permit applications, and site improvements.

our continuation as a venue for music will ultimately hinge upon the collective opinion of the community we exist in.

we will still function as an art gallery and community center.

if you are inclined to help in any way, you may email at cofg@grandecom.net

if you like, you may take a look at our wishlist.

happily, the ol' ghosty will continue to produce musical entertainments for free while it can.

additionally, The Church will be able to continue to function as a studio/gallery. as such, we are now accepting submissions for showings, workshops, and installations.

if you would like to participate in an NEW 48 hour installation called "Weight; loss; money" November 14-16...
