Building Use Request

We have recently begun to open our Church for other uses that serve the community.

Before any facilities or equipment may be approved and used, a thorough understanding of the responsibilities of all parties involved shall be determined, and acknowledged, by submitting a signed Building/ Equipment Use Request Form.

Applications for the use of church facilities will be considered according to the following guidelines:

  1. Members for church related activities
  2. Other churches and Christian organizations
  3. Members for non-profit/community related activities
  4. Non-profit activities
  5. Non-members for church/ non-profit/community related activities.

Once approved the event shall be confirmed by placing it on the church calendar on a first come, first served basis. Church programming will preempt usage of the space. The Council will consider how the aims and goals of the using group support the Values, Mission and Vision of this congregation.

Keys: If users need a key to gain access to the building for their activity, please notify the Lord of Life Administrative Assistant and complete necessary Key Request Documentation.

The user will agree to assume full responsibility for the use and final condition of the facilities and equipment used. All used areas of the building shall be cleaned by the user and returned to the same or better condition than found and the user is responsible for their own set-up and take down. All furniture and equipment shall be returned to its original location or set up as indicated by the representative of Lord of Life.

All damages, injuries, and unusual incidents occurring during the use will be reported in writing by the user to the church office within 24 hours. Users agree to release all responsible authorities of these facilities from any and all liability arising out of use of facilities or equipment. Users of the building should restrict members of their group to the areas of the building noted on the application.

Due to wear and tear from transportation and use, tables, chairs and other equipment may not be borrowed by members or friends for use outside the church building. The only exception to this will be for church activities or outreach programs held in the homes of church members, or at designated locations, where additional tables and chairs may be needed.

Facility Use Costs:

User fees help cover the cost of utilities and maintenance needs at Lord of Life Lutheran Church. The following user fee schedule can be used as a guide in determining the approximate user costs associated with using the church for your activities.
