The church is fully equipped with heating, altarpiece, harmonium, church benches, christening font and equipment for the Holy Communion. The church seats up to 60 people. Nanoq is cooperating with the congregation of Pietarsaari but there is no priest on the ground so if you want to arrange an event in the church you need to contact a priest on your own.
