Facility & Room Reservation Request

Members and groups having an established relationship with First United Methodist Church of Salisbury are permitted to use the grounds and facilities for gatherings and activities which are consistent with the mission of the Church. Those seeking to use facilities must complete a Facility Use & Room Reservation Request Form and obtain approval in advance of use. Generally, requests for the use of facilities during church business hours (Monday-Friday: 9am - 3pm) are approved by the church leadership in accordance with this policy. Requested use of the facilities outside of normal business hours requires approval of the Board of Trustees.

Please note that church events will take precedence and no additional outside events will be scheduled during Holy Week (Palm Sunday to Easter Sunday), to honor the solemnity of the week.
