Severna Park Community Center

Started in 1995, the Center began as an outreach to the community from Woods Church when it was purchased from the YMCA of Severna Park.

The Center is no longer affiliated with the YMCA, and was renamed The Severna Park Community Center to reflect its openness to all in the community.  SPCC holds is own mortgage and is a non-profit organization supported by an Executive Director and a working Board of Directors comprised of 16 members of the greater Severna Park Community. 

SPCC is a non-membership facility.  You pay only for the program or activity of interest. 

In 1997, through the gracious donations of members of the community and a small amount of county funding, a $6m renovation and expansion began, transforming the corner of Cypress and B&A; Blvd. In Severna Park into a state-of-the-art public recreation and meeting facility. The Severna Park Community Center is the only one if its kind in the area. 

Though the building is complete, SPCC continues fundraising to pay off the cost of the expansion and the remaining construction debt.

Highlights of the campus include:
• 36,000 square feet of meeting and recreation space for public use
• Two pools – one 25-yard competitive and one heated therapy – managed by SPCC Aquatics, home of SPY Aquatics
• Three dance studios, home of the Dance Center of Severna Park
• 6,500 square-foot gymnasium with volleyball and basketball set-ups for use by individuals or organizations
• Three large meeting rooms and two activity/meeting rooms.

The campus also includes the 3,200 square-foot Holy Grounds Youth Center, available for meetings and activities, and a bricked outdoor plaza. All space is handicapped accessible.

All facilities (meeting rooms, gymnasium, Holy Grounds, pools) are available for rent to the public. 

"As a local family who loves pickleball, the new courts at Severna Park Community Center have been a delightful addition. Not only have we enjoyed playing, but we've also relished the opportunity to meet other players. It's been fun sharing tips and sources for pickleball accessories like bags and paddles. These interactions have added a wonderful social aspect to our sporting experience, enhancing the community feel that the center fosters through its diverse range of facilities and programs. It's a great place for both physical activity and community bonding." JoAnne Michaels

Mission & Vision

Mission

To offer programs and activities that enrich and enhance family life, community life and individual development in a Christian environment open to all.

Vision

The vision of the Severna Park Community Center is to become a center of our community -- a place of meeting and ecumenical ministry; a place where social justice is promoted, family life supported, recreation and good health encouraged, art and beauty treasured, and where cross-generational contact is valued.

In serving the Center's neighbors, we will remember the least serviced -- alienated youth, discounted seniors, the needy, the physically and mentally challenged, and those who have either forgotten or never been told they are God's beloved children.

The Severna Park Community Center is committed to the principle of non- discrimination in its programs, policies and practices in a manner consistent with its Christian foundation.  Members of the surrounding community, regardless of race, color, creed, national origin, sex or physical or mental disability, are encouraged to participate in our programs.

We hope the friends and neighbors of the community will join hands to make the vision for the Severna Park Community Center a reality.

Become a "Friend"

The Severna Park Community Center is a private non-profit organization with no membership requirements and is the only privately supported Community Center in Anne Arundel County.  Your generous donations are always appreciated.

Leases and Rentals

Is SPCC the right facility for your party, program or event?

SPCC is a multi-use facility and we have many rooms in use at the same time. This can impact our parking lot, create movement within the building, result in sounds coming from surrounding rooms, and even impact the layout of the room (things displayed on walls or storage units added temporarily to a room) We can be a very happy and busy location so please consider this as you plan your party, program or event!

Here are some of the features here at SPCC:

• We provide tables and chairs at no charge up to the number we have available in each room.
• We provide custodial support whenever our Center is open. 
• We have front desk staff to help your guests and participants find your party or event. 
• We provide free internet access in our lounge and in Meeting Rooms 1, 2 & 3 
• We have one portable PA System, one LCD Projector with Cart, one portable projection screen and two TV/VCR/DVD units available for $25 each.
• Smoking is restricted to outside smoking stations. Alcohol may be permitted for certain events on a case-by-case basis.
• We rent in half hour and full hour increments.  Pricing below is given in full hour increments. We separate bookings by 30 minutes to give our Custodian time to clean and re-arrange the room for the next event.
• You will need to reserve enough time in the space for your set-up and clean-up time.  If you provide us with detailed set-up instructions, we will try to have the tables and chairs in place and ready for you to set-up.
