EVENT CENTER CONTRACT

USE POLICY

AGAPE EVENT CENTER RENTAL AGREEMENT

The Agape Event Center is located on a “Faith-Based” campus and any events held on the premises should not violate the overall culture of the Agape Campus. The facility will not be permitted to persons or groups holding, advancing, or advocating beliefs, or advancing, advocating, or engaging in practices that conflict with the culture.

This restricted facility use policy is necessary for two important reasons. First, the campus may not in good conscience materially cooperate in activities or beliefs that are contrary to its faith. Allowing its facilities to be used for purposes that contradict the overall culture would be material cooperation with that activity, and would be a grave violation of the church’s faith, bylaws, and religious practice.

Second, it is vital that the Agape Event Center presents a consistent message to the community, which the staff and members conscientiously maintain as part of their witness to the Gospel of Jesus Christ. To allow facilities to be used by groups or persons who express beliefs or engage in practices contrary to Agape Christian Worship Center’s (ACWC) faith would negatively impact the message that the church strives to promote. It could also be a source of confusion and scandal to church members and the community because they may reasonably perceive that by allowing use of our facilities, the church is in agreement with the beliefs or practices of the persons or groups using church facilities.

Facilities may not be used in any way that contradicts the ACWC’s faith. This policy applies to all church facilities, regardless of whether the facilities are connected to the church’s sanctuary, because the church sees all of its property as holy and set apart to worship God.

The pond or the playground are not a part of event rentals. Please refrain from usage.
