Community groups, private individuals, and local organizations (as well as our own church members) are welcome to request our facilities for one-time or on-going events. For non-church events, we do charge a fee which helps pay for our ministries and missions. We require proof of liability insurance naming the church as an additional policy holder for the day(s) of your event.
You can find links to the map of the property and available spaces at the bottom of this page. You can check the church calendar (click this link or view the calendar on the website main page) to see if your desired dates, times, and spaces you would like to request are available.
Here’s how to get started: at least one month prior to your event, download and complete the Facilities Use Request Form (click this link or scroll to the bottom of the page and click there).
Send the completed request form via E-mail to our Facility Use Coordinator at facility_use@davisumc.org. You can ask questions and get information before filling out the form at that same address.
Please note that “close-in booking” is generally not possible at our church; we require sufficient lead time to approve your event and receive payment and a copy of your liability insurance policy. For bookings less than one month in the future, we encourage you to reach out to other facilities in the area. You may also contact the church to inquire about close-in availability; however, space is not guaranteed.
Once the Coordinator receives your request form, they will reach out to you to discuss your rental needs. It is important to note that at this point, your event is not yet approved. If the church’s spaces are available and the use is subsequently approved by the church’s Trustees, then the Coordinator will send you a Facility Use Contract and Facilities Use Policy. You can peruse copies of these documents by clicking below.
Please note that events are not considered “scheduled” until (1) the event is approved by the Trustees, (2) a signed Facility Use Contract is received in the office with a $150 security deposit, and (3) arrangements are made to send a copy of a liability insurance policy naming the church as an additional policy holder for the day(s) of your event.
Once your event is scheduled, you can then send the balance of fees due via check to the church. All fees (and insurance) should be in the office two weeks prior to the event. If fees are not paid in full and insurance is not on file, then entry to church spaces will be refused.
