The historic building that houses the Congregational Church of Belmont was built on its hilltop setting as the clubhouse for the Belle Monti Country Club in the early 20s.

So it's no surprise that the high ceilings, open beams, oak floors and verandas lend themselves to a variety of uses from weddings and private parties to business seminars and conferences to regular gathering of community groups.

The well-appointed dining room with its French doors opens to a veranda with a stunning view of the moon hanging over the Belmont Hills. A fully operational kitchen with a new commercial range and oven as well as a warming oven creates a functional space for caterers with easy access to the dining room.

The unique, dark-beamed sanctuary with stained glass windows and French doors opening to another veranda features a grand piano and a world-class, 20-rank, pipe organ. Professional musicians use this warm and inviting space for recitals when it's not reserved for weddings.

Classrooms downstairs house the Carlmont Parents Nursery School and OT4Kids, a movement therapy studio, on weekdays but the large Fireplace Room with its own kitchen is available for rentals on weekends and evenings.
