Facility and building (including use and fees) of Redmond United Methodist Church

About our building facility and grounds

The building facility and grounds, or any part, are available for rent to be used for weddings, meetings, retreats, concerts and rehearsals, scouting activities, elections, and other events and programs that are in keeping with the family values of Redmond UMC and its congregation. As a religious place of worship, the needs of the congregation come first, and all other uses will be scheduled as time is available.

Although Redmond UMC is a religious organization, the facilities can be—and often are—used by secular organizations for secular purposes. Redmond UMC holds that all persons have equal and inalienable rights and are therefore allowed to use the facility without restrictions based on race, religion, color, nationality, age, or other segregating factors. Redmond UMC permits use of the church’s facilities without requiring users to be members of the United Methodist Church and free from recruitment into the United Methodist Church.

Fee schedule for using the Redmond UMC building and facilities

Redmond UMC charges fees commiserate with the need of the congregation to maintain the church’s investment in the building facilities and grounds. The fees are not intended to deter use of the facilities but to preserve them for perpetual use in the Redmond community. Any group desiring to use the church can, upon display of proper information and credentials, request the fees be waived for single use programs and events.

Some fees include wages to make sure the Redmond UMC facility is operated by knowledgeable church clergy, staff, and/or volunteers, to make sure equipment is properly used and stored, for setup and take down of tables, chairs, and other furnishings, for clean-up and maintenance, and for music in keeping with the spiritual nature of the facility’s primary use.
