HOW TO SCHEDULE AN EVENT
AT FRANKLIN FIRST
UNITED METHODIST CHURCH

Every event  must be placed on the church calendar using the following procedure:

  • Contact the church office for the appropriate form or download the forms online by following the links below:

·        Blue Event Order Form for events on our Central Campus or off site, or

·        Green North Campus Land Use Request Form for events on North Campus

  • Fill out the form completely. Be sure to indicate any need for equipment, custodial service, room setup, post card or phone tree reminders, and childcare.  If you are requesting childcare, be sure to read the childcare policy carefully, make the request on the appropriate (pink) form: Nursery & Childcare Request Form, and allow the necessary lead-time.
     

  • Turn the appropriate form in to the church office with plenty of lead-time (at least 2 weeks before the event).  Requests for space for your events are brought to our staff meeting each Tuesday for approval.  Many times approval is routine.  On occasion, however, adjustments need to be made when there are multiple requests for the same facilities.  If you have questions regarding scheduling or appropriate space for your activity, talk with someone in the church office.  A staff member will contact you with approval or denial of your request.
     

  • Please do not publicize an event until you have been notified that it has been approved.
     

  • Please Note:  If there are any changes in plans (time, place, date, cancellation, etc.) after an event has been scheduled, be sure to contact someone in the church office regarding the change.  Otherwise incorrect information may be published in the bulletin or newsletter or space may be denied another group unnecessarily.  If you discover that you will not need childcare that you have requested, be sure to inform the church office as soon as possible so as to be good stewards of the church’s resources and nursery staff’s time.

 

Complete guidelines for the use of facilities are available in the church office.
