As a service to its mmbers, their immediate
families (parents, children & grandchildren) and the community
at large, the Summit County Church of Christ wants to make
its facilities available for Church Groups to stay at our
building and for special events such as Weddings, Receptions,
Family Reunions, Elders Retreats or similar gatherings. These
policies are to help clarify the responsibilities of those
groups, families, or individuals who desire to use the Church
facility. It also describes the responsibilities of the Church.

to accept responsibility for communicating with the Building

This individual will take responsibility for paying the donation

waste baskets emptied and all trash containers shall be emptied.
The kitchen, if used, shall also be fully cleaned, including
sweeping and mopping, and any unused food or food containers

by the last day of your stay at the facility.

The donation is to help cover the costs of maintenance, utilities,

If the facility is left in a clean and appropriate condition
by the group, the cleaning deposit will be returned, after

3. Safety Considerations:
a. The Church wants the use of its facilities
to be a positive experience for you. Please use good judgment
and common sense while using the facility. Please supervise
all members of your group to ensure everyone’s safety,
particularly around the stairs, bathrooms and outside decks
and steps.
b. Trash must be put inside the dumpster and
please close the lid completely so as not to attract bears.

and pleasure. Please use it with extreme caution. A chimney
fire could cause a major disaster in this area. All trees
in the area are National Forest and it is against the law
to cut them for firewood or remove them from the area. There
is wood that may be burned in the fireplace outside the shed
behind the building.
