Time
The church is in a residential area and sensitive to the consideration of our neighbors. All events must end by 11pm, to allow for adequate clean-up and dispersal by midnight.

It may be returned following the event if: the event ends as scheduled; and the clean up follows the guidelines; this includes but is not limited to: having the event end as scheduled; the building is clean (trash removed); andthere is no damage to the building or any of the fixtures of the building.
Events are schedule in six hours blocks of time that include set up, the event, and clean up afterwards. The current rate is $800 per six hours of time. Additional time can be negotiated at a cost $200 per hour.
