The Church is a Christian organisation with a Christian charitable purpose, Christian doctrine and strongly held convictions and beliefs. As such, the Church reserves the right to refuse or terminate any hiring of its premises where it considers that such use or activities would be in conflict with the Church’s charitable purpose or where the hiring would cause offence on the grounds of religion or belief to the Church’s members.
To maintain the sanctity and integrity of our church, the following activities are not permitted:
- Commercial sales, fairs or markets: Events primarily intended for commercial profit through the sale of a variety of goods and services. Note, the ancillary sale of a limited range of items as part of another activity or sales as part of a charitable cause is allowable by discretion of the Leadership Team.
- Other Faith & Alternative Spiritual Beliefs: Activities, services or groups that promote or worship religions and spiritual beliefs other than the Christian religion. Note, this also includes activities which may include some element of alternative spiritual belief such as yoga, sound baths, tai chi and crystal healing.
- Political Events: Activities that promote a specific political party or candidate.
- Late Night or Loud Events: Out of consideration for our neighbours we cannot accept late night bookings or events involving loud music.
- Activities Contrary to Church Values: Any activity that contradicts our faith, values, or mission, including but not limited to, activities involving alcohol, gambling, or otherwise inappropriate content.
