STEP 1: All requests for Grace United Methodist Church space regardless of the nature of the event MUST have our one page building use application form submitted online, mailed, or hand-delivered to 205 E. Monroe St. Do not FAX. No verbal request by telephone or in person will be accepted. Only designated personnel will review your application and take the appropriate action.

Therefore, the fastest means of applying is to fill out the form online and then press Send. Your form will go to the appropriate personnel. Hard copy forms may be obtained in the church office at the above street address for those not comfortable with online services or you may print the building use application, fill it out and mail or deliver to the above address. A mail drop box is located on the front door of the church office. Allow seven day (7) for a response. Then call GUMC church office for confirmation only of the application’s arrival.

Date(s) for your event will be discussed by the appropriate personnel regarding availability. Describe the event thoroughly. There must be a contact person with telephone(s) and email address. Whether the date(s) are available or not will be communicated to you by phone, email and/or physical mailing address. Please make certain that your information is correct in every detail on the application form.

Filling out this form does not mean your request will be accepted. Step 1 is only your introduction to our building use program. NEXT…

STEP 2: Your contact person will be encouraged to meet with our designated personnel to visit Grace United Methodist Church for a person-to person interview which will include visiting available space(s) for your event. It is important that you know the full extent of what your event requires because the questions will be specific and will influence our decision. Bring anyone with you that you feel has integral knowledge of your event. Prices/fees will be discussed. You will be given documents to guide you during your relationship with GUMC. We will address any issues that we feel are needing clarification. Plan on an hour for this site visit/interview. NEXT…

STEP 3: Grace United Methodist Church will review your interview in a prompt manner. You will be notified by telephone, email or physical address. You will be given a set time by which to respond. Essentially GUMC will be providing you with a building use agreement of understanding. Now is the time to ask for any clarification from GUMC or providing us with additional information. NEXT…

STEP 4: It will be necessary for a qualified representative of your event to meet with a designated GUMC member for signing of the agreement and payment of all appropriate monies (in advance). GUMC does not accept credit/debit cards at this time. Cash or check shall suffice. For checks, a significant lead time of two weeks prior to the event must be observed. At this meeting you will learn how access to GUMC will be arranged. This completes the process. HOWEVER…

STEP 5: Grace United Methodist Church will not be held responsible for the success of your event. We want you to have a pleasant, meaningful relationship with us. Thank you.
