Guidelines for Using the Church Building by Non-Members

Thank you for choosing our church for your wedding or other occasion.
We have a few simple rules for using the church and they are the following:

  • Please leave the church in the same condition as when you found it.
  • Use discretion in putting up decorations and do not use scotch tape or strong tape that will peel any of the paint off.
  • If you would like to use the kerosene lanterns, please check with a church trustee.
  • Use discretion with the possible movement of any furniture or fixtures.
  • You may use the candles in the holders or furnish your own if you wish but please be careful with candle wax, especially in the area of the antique organ.
  • Please do not use rice or confetti. Bird seed is acceptable, if thrown some distance from the church building.
  • When the weather is cool, a staff member will take care of the heat at your request.
  • Upon leaving the building, be sure all the candles are extinguished, windows closed and the door locked.
  • Your gift of $250.00 for use of the building is required not less than 2 weeks prior to the event. Contact: jacksonportumc@gmail.com
