St. Luke’s Lutheran Church’s (congregation) primary purpose is to carry on the
mission and ministry of the congregation. It has a desire to serve as an outreach to
the community and has a number of longstanding relationships with community
organizations for ongoing use. The congregation is happy to have your organization
share our facilities. So that all church members and outside groups can enjoy our
facility, we ask that you follow this guide and sign and return the Property Use
Agreement and Release Form. A copy of the approved form will be returned to you.
These forms are only to be used for occasional use such as a once only use or for a
few hours one day each week or month.
Building use activities fall under the jurisdiction of the Property Ministry Team.
Requests for building use are managed through the church office or Facility
coordinator. No commitment for building use is finalized until the Use Agreement has
been approved and executed through the Church Office. Local organizations and
individuals for one -time or short-term usage also may use church building. When
possible we will attempt to make our facility available for such groups. Our first
priority is to congregation programs and membership needs. Priority is then given to
nonprofit groups that are supported by church and finally to other nonprofit
organizations.
Approval for the use of the grounds and/or facilities of congregation does not
constitute or imply endorsement of a group, their mission, or their positions. Groups
approved to use congregation facilities are not to advertise the event in such a way
as to imply endorsement by the congregation. No activities or advocacy may take
place within the congregation, its buildings or grounds that conflict with the practices
of this congregation and the ELCA.

- Steps to Facility Use Scheduling
