Rental Procedures & Policies
​
General Principles
Rental agreements are made subject to availability. Bookings are final only after the Facility Use Coordinator (Lisa) or Booking Clerk (Linda) have confirmed over the phone or through an email with the individual responsible for booking the space. In cases requiring additional consultation, the Selkirk Community Church (SCC) Leadership Team shall serve as arbiters.
Approval to use our facilities does not constitute or imply endorsement of any group, their mission, or their positions. Groups must not advertise events in such a way as to imply endorsement by the congregation. No activities or advocacy may take place within our
buildings or grounds that conflicts with the bylaws and the practices of the congregation or the Mennonite Brethren denomination.
SCC reserves the right to refuse rental to groups or individuals whose events are deemed to conflict with our purposes or are antithetical to our Statement of Faith, in the opinion of the Facility Use Committee.
