The Cultural Center
The Danish Cultural Center is a multi-purpose building connected to the church via a central entryway.
The cultural center is the focal point for most non-religious events and gatherings such as Danish evenings, banquets large and small, musical and theatrical performances, exhibits, lectures, film, fashion shows, informal get-togethers and for lunch following Sunday services.
Three local scout troops regularly meet here. Each June children and adults attending Summer Camp bunk down in the hall for five days and nights and each November the hall and patio are transformed into a marked place for our Scandinavian Christmas Fair.
Many events held in the Cultural Center are planned by The Cultural Committee. Read more about The Cultural Committee here.
Banquet Hall & Patio
A unique experience is awaiting your special occasion, celebration or meeting at our multipurpose facility. Our banquet and reception hall "on-site" is directly connected with our architectural designed sanctuary. We have onsite parking too.
The Knudsen Hall seats 176 at 72-inch round or rectangular tables. The adjoining, covered patio easily seats 50-70 at round and/or rectangular tables. Tables can be arranged in many ways to accommodate almost any event .
Light-blocking curtains and an automated projection screen enable the use of audio-visuals at any time.
The birchwood floor is made for dancing and a portable stage can transform the room into a theater or be used as a runway.
Large sliding glass doors lead onto the covered and heated patio as a natural extension of the hall, and provide a setting for outdoor entertaining.
Contact Pastor Anne-Grethe or a council member about having your next event at The Danish Cultural Center.
Conference Room
The conference room easily seats 14-16 around a exquisite pommele mahagony and birch root table designed by architect Ebbe Videriksen.
The light filled room has blackout curtains so audio-visual equipment can be used with ease at any time.
Library
The Danish Cultural Center houses a large Danish language library (currently in excess of 2,000 items and growing), primarily fiction but also a significant collection about Danish history, Vikings, the royal Danish family and Danish cuisine.
The library is open to anyone who is interested and the books are lent on an honor system basis.
Volunteers are currently in the process of registering all books into a database.
