Use of Building

The facilities of Trinity Lutheran Church are dedicated to serve the needs of the congregation and its mission. As a service to both our members and our community, Trinity also makes some of our facilities available to a limited number of community organizations and to our members for private functions.

In order to make this possible, we need the cooperation of all those who are extended the privilege of using the church facilities. We must be assured that the church’s properties are properly maintained, protected from misuse and damage, and kept secure.

As the renter or supervisor of groups, you will be held responsible for the actions of your group. We expect that all groups using the facilities will be supervised at all times, that they will remain in the designated area and that the rooms and furnishings will be treated with proper respect.

Trinity’s custodians have their assigned work in cleaning and maintaining the building for the day-to-day ministries of the church. It is expected that groups will leave the facilities in the same conditions in which they were found. When the congregation’s policies require that custodians are needed for certain activities, the users will be expected to cover those costs.
