Use of Church Facilities

 • For all activities that require special set up you will need to fill out a Schematic. Please submit your completed schematic at least eight weeks prior to your event. Filling this out will help our Facilities Team Members set up your room on time and with the right configuration. It does not, however, guarantee your set-up! If you are concerned about your set-up and/ open-up, especially for large functions. We recommend you contact the Facilities Director at the Church office. For wedding set-ups please contact the Facilities Director at the Church office. For paid events you may confirm directly with the Facilities Director at the Church office.
