Facility Rental Information
Bethel Property Rental Policy Bethel Lutheran Church welcomes responsible groups to use our facilities for events. Because the building is used for worship on Sunday mornings, and for Preschool on weekday mornings, it is very important that groups renting the facility leave it clean and in good order. To facilitate proper use, BLC staff and volunteers support rentals as follows:
-
Reservations. The Church Secretary, can provide interested parties with the rental agreement form; accept signed rental agreements, fees, and deposits; and note the reservation on the Church calendar. The Property Committee Chair approves all rentals.
-
Building entry. The Property Committee Chair can provide renting groups with an entry code for the kitchen door.
-
Post-event checkup. The Church Property Manager (or Property Committee Chair, if Manager is unavailable) checks the facility after a rental event and before the next scheduled Church or Preschool event. This person will verify the completion of the items on the rental agreement checklist. Failures to satisfy any items on the rental agreement checklist will be noted for appropriate deductions from the security deposit. The Property Committee Chair reviews the checklist, determines the amount of deduction from the security deposit and notifies the Treasurer of the amount to be refunded.
-
Necessary cleanup must be done prior to the next scheduled Church or Preschool event. The post-event checkup person will be paid a flat rate out of the rental fee for the check and additional fees as needed from the security deposit for the time taken to satisfy the checklist items.
