Our church building is a gift from God, given not only to the church but also to the larger community. As stewards of this gift, the Session allows and encourages its use by any individual or group whose intended activity is consistent with our sense of the building as a tool for ministry in the name of Jesus Christ.

We hope that church members and friends in the community will use the building for private worship, prayer, meditation, study or simply as a place to be quiet and safely apart from busyness for a time. To that end, all members and friends will be given a key.

Weddings and funerals/memorial services, and receptions afterward, may be held for members and non-members alike. (See Marriage Policy.) Church members may be asked to assist with receptions following a funeral/memorial service, if the family would like it.

Non-profit community service organizations may use the building space for meetings, seminars, training events, community education events, etc.
Community service activities for which a fee is charged (e.g., counseling, therapy, etc.) may be held, if we are assured that using this building will make such services available at lesser costs.

No set fee will be charged for any use of the building by members or non-members. It is hoped that non-members and non-church groups will make a contribution to the on-going ministries of the church, in an amount that reflects their own sense of fairness and gratitude, and their financial resources.

All persons and groups are urged to use this gift with care and respect, and with thanks to God, and to leave the building at least as clean as they found it.

The Session, (contact: Elders Melissa Anglin (252) 473-4772, Katharine Pearce (252) 473-1599 - and Pastor Kevin Brunk may give permission for specific uses of the building. All scheduled activities must be entered on a calendar in the church office, to avoid conflict
