The khutbah has to be in arabic . We can translate after the salah in any language or before the salah we can give the lecture in any language. At the time of prophet( pbuh) there were some people who would not understand arabic e.g salman (ra) was persian still the khutbah would be in arabic . We are american, does not mean we change the sunnah of prophet(pbuh) because verily whoever will try to change the religion will be in complete distraction , also arabic is the language of the book of Allah . Thanks

The only place to pray jummah I you work downtown. Prayer is held in a multipurpose room, you enter through the side of the church. There is a receptionist that sits there that can direct you if you need assistance. Make wudu before you come, the bathrooms aren't huge and can get a little crowded. Women sit in the back behind a row of chairs. Both khutbahs are in English.

Having a place to pray jummah is a blessing and for that it deserves a 5. Now its in a small church. NORMALLY prayers are done in a small hall in the back (a gate on the left side of the church will lead you to it). These days there is renovation going on. Bathrooms are good enough to do wudu. I was surprised to see how many people came to pray.
