Showers of Blessings Harvest Center Rental and Building Use Guidelines & Online Event Application Form

Rental requests (i.e. weddings, meetings, funerals etc.)  for use of the church must complete an Event Application Form.

The Special Events Coordinator will coordinate with the Calendar of Events and Building Utilization Coordinators to check availability of date and space. The Special Events Coordinator will review the Event Application Form for completeness and provide it to Showers of Blessings Harvest Center Leadership. If approved, the Special Event Coordinator will contact the requesting party to confirm the engagement and inform the requesting party of the final cost of the ministries of help needed for the engagement (i.e. environmental services, security & parking, communications, dining room etc.)

The Special Events Coordinator will contact the individual or organization requesting use of the church to provide the Building Use Rental Agreement along with the procedures and requirements for renting the church. Our goal is to notify the requesting party within 72 hours if the space is available.

A non refundable rental deposit must accompany the Building Use Agreement.

Upon receipt of a signed Building Use Rental Agreement and deposit, The Special Events Coordinator will contact the necessary Ministries of Help to inform them of the event and to place the event on their calendar for services.
