Building Use

Beaverton First United Methodist Church

A GUIDE TO

BUILDING USE

Beaverton First United Methodist Church (BFUMC) is a busy place. Its primary purpose is to carry on the ministry of the local church. The church has an active ministry to children, youth, adults, and senior adults. It has a significant outreach into the community through the Faith Café, food pantry and other social services. The programs and people of BFUMC are the top priority when it comes to building use.

Building use activities fall under the jurisdiction of the Board of Trustees. Building use is managed by the Church Administrator. No commitment for building use is finalized until the Room Use Agreement has been completed and executed by the Church Administrator.

BFUMC has a number of long-standing relationships with several community organizations for ongoing use. Availability for such ongoing usage is limited but can be considered.

Local organizations and individuals for one-time or short-term usage also use BFUMC. When possible we attempt to make our facility available for such groups. Our first priority is to BFUMC programs and membership needs. Priority is then given to nonprofit groups that are supported by BFUMC and then finally to other nonprofit organizations.

Approval of the use of the grounds and facilities of BFUMC does not constitute or imply

endorsement of a group, their mission, or their positions. Groups approved to use facilities at BFUMC must not advertise the event in such a way as to imply endorsement by the congregation. No activities or advocacy may take place within BFUMC, its buildings or grounds that conflicts with the Discipline and the practices of this congregation and the United Methodist Church.
