Building Use Request and Hold Harmless Agreement
Frankenmuth United Methodist Church has several rooms which are available to groups and individuals within the congregation, for church related activities. Members may also request the use of church rooms for graduations, anniversaries, birthday parties and similar activities. Rooms will not be available for political meetings or for commercial events.

Building Use Guidelines:

1. Signature: This application will be signed by the church member responsible for the event and this person will accept responsibility for compliance of this policy.
2. Post-Event Responsibilities: If the building is found not to be in a clean condition after the event, FUMC reserves the right to charge the church member who signed this form custodial service costs at the rate of $25 per hour, with a two-hour minimum. Your responsibilities include:
a. Floors: Carpet must be vacuumed, and floors swept and mopped, if needed.
b. Cleanliness: Garbage containers must be emptied, and all trash put in the outside dumpster behind the fenced area.
c. Food items: All food and beverages must be immediately removed following the event. Nothing is to be left in FUMC’s refrigerators, freezers, etc.
