All groups and individuals using FULC properties for other than church business or FULC-established ministries, missions, and programs must conform to the following policies and procedures.
Requirements:
  1. Sign and follow the FULC Property Use Agreement, which is made part of this policy (copy provided).
  2. Receive advance approval to use FULC property by the Pastor, the Property Ministry Director, or the Chairperson of the Property Committee.
  3. If children are to take part in the property usage, the group must conform to the FULC Safe Child policy (copy provided).
  4. Usage by outside parties cannot supersede any pre-scheduled FULC event. FULC reserves the right to supersede a scheduled event with 10 days’ notice.
  5. A maintenance surcharge of $25.00 will be levied if room or equipment used is not returned to its original status.  This is in addition to any charges levied for normal property use.
  6. Surcharges will be levied for the use of the kitchen or any AV equipment.  The Chairperson of the Property Committee will determine the appropriate fee.  Payment will be accepted as specified in the FULC Property Use Agreement.
  7. Entering locked rooms or private offices is prohibited.
  8. Tampering with or adjusting environmental systems (thermostats, humidity controls, venting) is prohibited.  Telephone numbers of authorized persons will be provided, for the adjustment of controls should the room(s) being used become uncomfortable.
  9. Any use of the church property requires:
  • Treating FULC property with respect.  Damage to walls, doors, bathroom fixtures, or any other structures, which occurs from other than normal use, is not acceptable.
  • Clean up afterwards (wiping down tables, vacuuming and taking out trash).
  • Returning furniture to designated areas or original room configuration.  Any sound equipment and lobby furniture is not to be moved.  Furniture is not to be used outside the building.
  • Shutting off lights.
  • Locking and closing all outside doors.
