Church Access Request

We’re updating our records to ensure everyone has the appropriate access to church buildings and spaces. If you regularly need entry to the church for meetings, events, or other activities, please take a moment to fill out the Church Access Form. This helps us maintain a safe and organized environment for all. Please hit submit when completed.
POLICY ON CHURCH ACCESS
First United Methodist Church uses a system of electronic and standard door locking systems to secure its property both externally and internally. 

Entry into the church building is usually restricted except during worship services, church-wide events, weddings, or funerals. Certain areas of the church are locked internally as well for safety and security reasons. 
  
Access to facility entry, and internal locked areas of the building, can be granted to individuals in order to facilitate their involvement with the church. Access is granted by the Board of Trustees based on position, need, or request.

Individuals granted access via key cards, fobs, or keys must be registered with the Church. Registration will be maintained through the Keri Systems software program owned by the Church. The Trustees will designate an individual to be responsible for maintaining those records, which will be backed up on a regular basis.

Any instance of misuse of access can subject the individual to have permissions rescinded by the Board of Trustees. 

When individuals no longer have need for access, it will be their responsibility to return all key cards, fobs, and keys to the church office; and access permissions will be updated in the Keri Systems accordingly. If after a period of time an individual  has no active role within the Church, and keys have not been returned, action can be taken to remove the permissions from the system.
