GUIDELINES FOR USE OF CHURCH FACILITIES

The guidelines for use of facilities at Trinity United Methodist Church, Salina, Kansas have been drawn up by the Trustees Committee to maintain the care of the building and property.  Every group using the facilities, whether member or not, will be responsible for following these guidelines.  Administrative Council members will be given building use guidelines and rules and are responsible for adhering to the rules when their task force is using the building for functions and meetings.

 All groups desiring to meet must have meetings on the calendar in the church office.  Groups may not meet at their discretion. 

No groups will be scheduled to meet during church worship times unless previously approved.  No groups will meet during special worship services, i.e. Maundy Thursday and Hanging of the Greens service.  Groups will be notified if their meeting time will conflict with a special event so that the group can make other arrangements. 

Church group meetings will take priority over outside groups.

Groups that are being provided a meeting place must abide by the standards set forth by this committee to take care of the facility.  Groups not abiding by the rules will be asked to make other meeting arrangements.

The group leader takes responsibility for communicating all guidelines to the participants and implementing all rules.

When children are participants or are with adults who are participants, the adult in charge assumes responsibility for seeing that there is a responsible adult supervising the children wherever they may be in the building, i.e. restrooms, hallways, outside the building.

When children are participants, an adult should arrive early to greet the children and not leave until all the children have left the property.  At least two adults should be on the property when children are involved.  It is recommended that there is one adult for every six children.

Any damage to church property incurred while the group is meeting will require compensation from the group responsible.  This will include any plumbing problems or damage to carpeting.

There will be no running in the halls or excessive noise.

There will be no playing on chair carts, coat racks or in rooms not being used by the group.

If the kitchen is to be used, all utensils must be washed and put away.  Counters should be wiped.  Failure to leave a clean kitchen will result in a cleaning fee which will be charged to the participating group.

All trash must be put in the proper receptacles.  Failure to do this will result in a fee charged to the participating group.  (minimum fee is $20)

There will be no food or drink served in the parlor except water.  Fellowship Hall 1 & 2 are designated as food areas.

There will be NO SMOKING allowed in the building.  There are containers for the disposal of cigarette/cigar butts at the two outside entrances from the parking lot.

There will be NO ALCOHOL or ILLEGAL DRUGS consumed on the property of Trinity United Methodist Church.

No objects are to be placed in the fountain.  This results in damages to the system.

Any spills must be wiped up immediately and reported in writing to the office if spill is noticeable.

The small stools located in-between the classrooms are not to be used during the week.  Please use the restrooms located in the halls.  Any damages to the plumbing will result in repairs being charged to the group responsible.

The restrooms need to be checked by the adult in charge before leaving the building.

The adult in charge is responsible for seeing that all lights have been turned off and all outside doors are locked.
