The Church’s facilities may not be used for activities that contradict, or are inconsistent with, the Church’s beliefs, as summarized in the Church’s statement of faith. This restricted facility use policy is necessary for two reasons. First, the Church may not in good conscience materially cooperate in activities or promote beliefs that are contrary to its faith (2 Cor. 6:14; 1 Thess. 5:22). Second, the Church must present a consistent public witness to the community through its stewardship of its property. Allowing facilities to be used in a way that contradicts the Church’s statement of faith would have a severe, negative impact on the message that the Church strives to promote and could cause confusion and scandal to Church members and the community. Therefore, only events that are consistent with the Church’s religious beliefs, as determined by the elders, shall be permitted.
Cross Fellowship Church requires event information to ensure a smoother review process. We ask that you fill out each field with the most accurate information. The elders or designated deacon must approve all Church facility use requests. Priority shall be given to Church members and Church-sponsored groups or activities. In the Church’s sole discretion, Church facilities may be made available to members and non-members or outside groups (the “User”) meeting the following qualifications: The User must affirm that the planned facility use does not violate the Church’s faith and practice. The User must submit a signed “Church Facility Reservation Request and Agreement” form. The User must agree to abide by the Church’s rules of conduct for facility use, as stated below and as described in any additional instructions by Church staff. The User must take responsibility for the facilities and equipment used.
