CHURCH POLICIES CONCERNING WEDDINGS AND RECEPTIONS

WEDDINGS

1. A deposit of $100.00 is required for use of the church building for weddings.  The deposit will be returned when the building is cleaned, the furniture is returned to its proper place, and the parking lot is clean.  An additional $35 non-refundable custodial fee is also required.

2. Confirmation of wedding dates will not be made more than 90 days in advance.

3. No open flame candles or candle stands will be allowed on the carpeted areas.  Electric or battery powered candles are acceptable.   Unity candles will be allowed if they are on a large covered table so that the table cannot be damaged.

4. No furniture in the auditorium will be moved for the purpose of having a wedding, except for the communion table, pulpit, and elder's chairs.  Any decorations or changes in the auditorium will be only by permission of the elders.  No tacks, nails or tape that will cause damage are to be used on pews, walls or furniture.

5. If the sound system is to be used, you will need to make arrangements with one of the people familiar with it. (Call the church for names.)

TIME OF WEDDINGS AND RECEPTIONS

1. All weddings and receptions on Saturday and Sunday must be over by 4:30 PM.

2. No receptions on Saturday or Sunday nights, or at any time that would interfere with any other service.

3. No weddings will be conducted in this church unless those involved are affiliated with this church or unless one of our Ministers is performing the ceremony.

RECEPTIONS

1. Limited decorations in the fellowship hall. 

2. No refreshments to be taken into the auditorium or class rooms.

3. No rice or birdseed throwing in the church building. 

4. No smoking or drinking of alcoholic beverages on church property.

5. Responsibility for cleaning the church building will be up to the ones using it!  It must be cleaned immediately after use and will be left in a clean orderly manner.  Carpet must be swept, floors dust mopped and furniture replaced.  Any debris outdoors  must be swept up (rice, birdseed, paper, etc.).

By Order of the Board of Elders of the First Christian Church

If you wish to discuss any of the church policies please call one of the elders on the wedding committee for approval.
