The facilities of the Mount Barker Church of Christ exist primarily to serve the needs of the Church community and its related activities. "Spare capacity" is made available to other groups in the community when it exists, subject to such use not infringing the activities of the Church community. The hire fees detailed below are not set at commercial levels because hiring of the Church facilities is not seen as a commercial activity, but rather a way of making best use of the facilities for the benefit of the wider community.
