Policies
Facility use policies
These guidelines keep the space safe, respectful, and welcoming for every group we host. They are summarized here and stated in full in the facility-use agreement you'll sign before your event.
Values
Our alcohol-free, family-friendly standard
This is a church campus, and our facilities are shared with our congregation and community ministries. We host celebrations that families of every generation can enjoy together.
We welcome guests of all backgrounds and beliefs. In return, we ask that events reflect the standards of the property.
Not permitted on the property
- Alcohol — served, sold, or brought onto the property
- Smoking and vaping anywhere on the grounds
- Marijuana and illegal drugs
- Gambling of any kind, including raffles structured as games of chance
- Sexually explicit entertainment, performances, or content
- Fireworks, open flames outside enclosed candles, and fog machines
- Any activity inconsistent with the policies and values of the church
