Cleaning: Utilized spaces should be left in the same or better condition than they are found – trash cans emptied, vacuum or sweep as needed, put away in the proper locations tables or other church items that are used, organize chairs, and a general straightening up. The room must be returned to the same layout that it was found in before the event – for example, if tables and chairs are set up a certain way prior to the event and moved for the event then they need to be reset after the event.

Cost: Facilities and administrative charges for facility use vary depending on the type of event. After the form is submitted and reviewed, you will be notified of any fees associated with the event. Any facility or administrative charges will be listed on the last page of the approved request form when it is sent back to you. In some cases, there may be lower fees or no fees charged to church members, or non-profits for certain events.
