Parking and access to Community United Methodist Church
- posted August 26, 2024

Our regular rehearsals will be from 7:30 – 9:30 PM at Community Methodist Church, 20 Center St. in Naperville, which is on the northeast corner of Benton St and Center St, just a block east of Washington St.The entry doors will be unlocked from 7:15 – 7:45 during regular rehearsals. We will enter through the arched doorway facing Benton St (in the middle and circled in the top photo above). The entry door is shown in the center of the picture (it faces south). As you enter, pass through the Welcome Center and either take the stairs or the elevator to the second floor. We will be meeting in the Sanctuary.

Parking: Local parking is available by Central Park, and there is street parking in the area. The Van Buren Parking Deck (43 W. Van Buren) is nearby, with an additional entrance on Benton St.. We cannot park in the portion of the lot across Center St that is directly adjacent to the First Congregational Church, but we can park in that lot on the side that is closer to Franklin St. Please see the map, with street parking circled in red, an arrow pointing to the Van Buren garage, and an “X” where we cannot park. The entry door is marked with a red dot
