Building Use

Our building is primarily available for personal, noncommercial gatherings hosted by covenant members and regular attendees of Pillar Church Warrensburg. Outside requests are considered only in exceptional circumstances; approval is not ordinarily anticipated.

How to request the building

Read the policy below and submit your request at least 30 days before your event when possible. Requests go to pillarchurchwarrensburg@gmail.com. One elder will review your request and reply by email with approval or denial. Submitting a request does not reserve the building. After approval, an authorized church representative will add the reservation to the church calendar.

Building Use Policy

Purpose

The facilities of Pillar Church Warrensburg exist primarily for worship, gospel ministry, and the life of our congregation. All use must be consistent with the church’s mission, Statement of Faith, and doctrinal convictions.

Scheduling priorities

Church-sponsored worship, ministries, meetings, and events receive first priority, followed by personal, noncommercial gatherings hosted by covenant members and regular attendees. Outside requests are considered only in exceptional circumstances.

Requests and approval

Requests should ordinarily be submitted at least 30 days before an event. The requester must read this policy and acknowledge agreement. One elder may approve or decline a request on behalf of the elders and communicate the decision through the church’s Gmail account. The elders retain final authority and may deny or revoke approval for reasons consistent with the church’s mission, safety, scheduling, or responsible stewardship. Any fees will be communicated before approval is finalized.

Facility guidelines

• Personal events must be noncommercial unless the elders specifically approve otherwise.

• Children must be supervised by responsible adults.

• Do not use nails, staples, screws, or damaging adhesives on walls or furniture. Remove decorations afterward.

• Use of sound, media, kitchen, or other specialized equipment requires prior approval.

• Return furniture to its original location; clean used spaces; dispose of trash properly; remove belongings.

• Report damage or maintenance concerns promptly.

• Turn off lights, secure doors, and follow approved access instructions. Do not share keys or access codes.

• No smoking, vaping, illegal drugs, or alcohol inside church facilities.

• Events may not be represented as church-sponsored without permission.

Responsibility and insurance

The requester is responsible for participants, cleanup, and proper care of the facilities and may be responsible for damage beyond normal wear. The church is not responsible for lost or damaged personal belongings. Outside organizations may be required to provide proof of general liability insurance, including additional-insured status and limits specified by the church and its insurer, before approval.

Cancellation and changes

Notify the church promptly of cancellations or material changes. The church may cancel an approved reservation in an emergency, for safety concerns, or for policy violations. It will make reasonable efforts to honor confirmed reservations and communicate changes promptly.
