General Guidelines for Facility Use/Rental

The following guidelines apply to the use and /or of the
rental of the Church Facility by groups or  individuals. 
                                                                                                                                                    

 
1. An application for Building Use form is required for all activities
conducted at PHUMC with the exception of Church Sponsored
activities. The intent of the form is to assure that the event is placed
on the church calendar, a responsible person or persons to serve as
the contact for the event is identified and that all required fees are
paid and user rules and requirements reviewed with the requestor. 
You can obtain a form at the church office located at 1300 Lexington Rd.
Pleasant Hill, MO. 64080.  
 
2. An application for building use must be made a minimum of three
weeks in advance of a scheduled event. The request must be
provided in person to the church secretary. If the requested space is
available, all deposits, if any, will be paid and submitted with the
completed and signed form. The space is not considered "booked"
until signed form and deposit, if any, are received and recorded by
the church secretary. Any and all other fees and balances must be
paid one week prior to the event. Chruch sponsored activities are
exempt from these requirements, however, they must still be booked
through the church secretary and placed on the church calendar.
 
3. If the CLC is requested for use, PHUMC will assure that the
requestor is trained on the use of lighting in this area. Similar
instruction will also be provided to the requester on the use of the
audio visual equipment if the use is requested. It is the responsibility
of the requestor to assure that the lights and equipment are operated
as directed. 
 

4. Requests may be made for activities that occur on a recurring
basis (e.g. basketball practices). PHUMC will specify the recurring
dates in a schedule to be provided to the requestor at the time of
initial submission of the Application for Building Use. Should the
requested area be needed during the year for a church mission
related event that conflicts with the requestors recurring schedule,
PHUMC will work with the requestor to reschedule the event. Fee
payments for recurring events beyond the first use may be arranged
with the church office.

 
5. Before an event or before the first recurring event, a PHUMC
representative will meet with the requestor to review that area
requested for use, answer questions related to its use and to
review applicable rules.
 
6. When using the facility the person or persons (not to exceed 2
people) signing the application for Building Use, are required to be
at the event during the entirety of the event. That person(s) will be
responsible for any improper use or activity during the event and for
any damages that may occur. See also Section entitled
"Cancellation and Damages" below.
 
7. When the kitchen is used by any group all consumable goods
(flour, spices, coffee, tea etc.) along with kitchen linens and utensils
must be furnished by that group. Groups are responsible for cleaning
up all of the utensils, plates, cups, etc. and removing all their items
from the refrigerators and/or freezers.
 
8. No food is to be taken out of the CLC or kitchen area. In some
instances, special arrangements may be made in advance to
permit food in some classroom areas. All requests for special
arrangements and decisions will be handled through the Board of
Trustees.
 
9. No furniture, chairs, appliances, equipment of any type are to be
removed from the premises. The room or rooms must be left as you

in the CLC unless entering or exiting the building. No unscheduled
meetings are allowed anywhere in the building once the alarm has
been set for the night.
 
11. Smoking or consumption of alcoholic beverages is never
permitted. Noncompliance with this rule will mean immediate
termination of any contracts and immediate expulsion from the
premises.
 
12. Your language and actions should compliment the church. No
