Our buildings and facilities exist to reach people for Christ. The following information is designed to help maintain a clean, well-functioning facility.

For all users:

• To schedule a meeting or event please call the Church Office – (480) 981-0802.

• You must fill out a Building Usage Form (at the bottom of this page) that includes a liability waver.

Please submit these at least 8 weeks prior to events  that will be publicized by the BCC Communications Team (in alignment with the Communication Policy). Events are scheduled on a first come, first served basis. Content and focus must be approved through the Office.

• Rooms come “As Is”. You will be responsible for class or event setups/teardowns. For questions or concerns, please contact the Church Office.

• • If this is a special event set up, please print and fill out a Schematic.

• If you are making a request to use the church campus at night, you must receive training on opening and closing procedures, as there are no facilities personnel on campus after 6pm.

Use of Church Facilities

• For activities that require special set-up, you will need to fill out a schematic. This is available through the Church Office. Please submit these at least two weeks prior to your event. Smaller activities/groups must give at least a 24-hour notice, but be advised that your desired location may already be reserved by another group. The schematic will help our janitorial/maintenance staff set up your room on time and with the right configuration. However, it does not guarantee your set-up. If you are concerned about your set-up and/open-up, especially for large functions, we recommend you contact the Church Office to speak with someone on our Facilities team. For wedding set-ups and paid events, please contact the Church Office.

• Most areas of both buildings are available. However, to use our nursery department, please contact our Children’s Director. Children must be supervised by an approved, background-checked Children’s Ministry individual or by their own parents only.

• Fees are charged for all gatherings not directly related to a BCC Ministry. Fees vary by activity; contact the Facilities team for more information.

Lobby Displays
Tables set up in any Lobby to promote ministries, special guests, etc. are typically reserved for staff initiatives. The Church Office must approve any others. Meet with a Facilities team member to discuss needs. Any signage must be created or approved by the Communication Team via the Publication Request Form. Failure to adhere to these requirements will result in the removal of a display. Table and chair set-up is free; promotional items may incur a charge.

Theft
The church is not responsible for theft of personal items on church property.
