FACILITY USER AGREEMENT
GENERAL:
For the purposes of this agreement, references to 'facility' include any property of the church building, furniture, or equipment.
No individual, group, or organization may use any church facilities in a manner that contradicts the mission, purpose, or beliefs of Vineyard Community Church.
Under no circumstances shall Vineyard Community Church be liable to the renter for any lost profits or incidental, indirect, special, or consequential damages or costs arising from the renter’s inability to use the facilities.
If a renter decides to cancel the event due to inclement weather, Vineyard Community Church will not refund the rental fees.
Scheduling priority will always be given to church events. Consequently, if a VCC ministry requires the gym for a church event, others who are scheduled may be rescheduled or canceled.
Facilities are not available to outside groups for profit-making activities.
Organizations formed specifically for political purposes or engaged in partisan political campaigns are not eligible to use church facilities for their programs.

If you forget to return the rental key to the lockbox, please know there will be a $75 charge for replacement.
