Information

WestSide Lutheran Church activities take priority over non-church activities. Once an activity is scheduled, every effort will be made to maintain that schedule. There may be times (i.e. for a funeral), when rescheduling a non-church activity is unavoidable.
Non-church activities that involve presentations or speakers who represent systems of belief that are outside the WestSide Lutheran Christian tradition must include the following disclaimer in promotional and event material: The views, beliefs, and opinions of the presenter(s) and this event do not represent the views, beliefs, and opinions of WestSide Lutheran Church and its members.
The building must be used for the purpose agreed upon.
The event must be confined to the agreed upon area(s) of the building.
The person making the reservation assumes full responsibility for the conduct of all persons attending the event.
The person making the reservation is also responsible for any damage that happens at the event.
All users have a responsibility to be good stewards of the space, conserving water and electricity by closing doors, turning off lights, etc.
WestSide is a tobacco and alcohol free building and property; no alcohol use or smoking is permitted.
Spaces must be returned to the state in which they were found. This includes moving furniture back to its original setting and cleaning up (vacuuming, picking up garbage, wiping down tables, etc.) as necessary. Spaces not returned to original state are assessed a custodial fee or lose deposit.
Posters, visual displays, etc. may not be affixed to walls (no tape, tacks, screws, hooks, or nails.)
