basic fees

  • The fee to reserve specified areas of the church building between the hours of 8 a.m. and 9 p.m. will be charged a $50 non-refundable rental fee. See “Application for Use of Facilities” for a complete list.
  • Non-profit organizations are exempt and must have insurance on file.

This must be scheduled at least 2 weeks in advance. It is the renter’s responsibility to coordinate with the worship arts department, not the main office. An additional fee should be paid directly to the sound technician the day/night of the event.

cleaning responsibility

The named person on the reservation form is responsible for cleaning after the event and is returning all church equipment to its proper location in working order. We reserve the right to collect a $50 cleaning fee following the event if the area is left unclean and the trash is not disposed in the outside dumpsters.

  • Coaches must be the first to arrive and the last to leave each practice. If the coach is not present athletes must stay under parental supervision. Any athletes left unattended risk the team’s ability to practice in the facility.
