Cross Roads Baptist Church Worship Center & Kitchen Guidelines 

If you wish to use the facility for any function, please call the church office to ensure availability.

Please follow these steps:

  1. Fill out online request form at www.hopeatcrossroads.org/forms and review the Worship Center & Kitchen Guidelines.

  2. Submit online request form to church office along with any applicable fees/deposits

  3. Once approved, the event will be placed on the church calendar

  4. Pick-up keys at the church office the week before the event 

   All deposits and fees must be paid before keys will be issued.

   PLEASE NOTE: No event will be scheduled until you receive confirmation from the church administrative assistant

following the receipt of the forms and applicable fees.

If you have any questions about the use of the equipment or kitchen facility before your event, please contact the Church Host/Hostess. Event set-up needs to be scheduled because of church-related usage.

 

CHURCH-SPONSORED EVENTS (Such as Bible Study class events or other church group events)

Any church-sponsored event will need to have a designated contact person to contact the church office to discuss availability and what is needed for the event.

  • All church functions will have full use of all kitchen equipment and supplies, including food and paper goods.

    • Please check the kitchen before purchasing any condiments, spices, ingredients, and/or other supplies. Please use opened items first. If you use any, please let the host/hostess know of any items that need to be replenished.

 

MEMBER-SPONSORED EVENTS (non-church functions)

In order to use the Worship Center, a member of the church must make the reservation.

  • Non-church members are not able to reserve the facility with the following exception:

    • Church members can reserve the facility for a family member who is not a member of the church given the church member will be in attendance of the event and act as the responsible party. 

In order to make a reservation, a $150.00 fee is required, regardless of membership status. The fee breakdown is as follows:

  • $50.00 (nonrefundable) - for utility usage

  • $100.00 deposit (refundable*) - for cleaning and key return

    • *This deposit will be refunded given the areas used are cleaned & left in order and keys are returned within 48 hrs of the event

    • *This deposit is non-refundable if you prefer to have the church custodian clean, as the $100 will be used as compensation. Please let the church secretary know of your plans BEFORE the event. Again, keys must be returned within 48 hrs of the event.

  •  All non-church functions will have full use of the kitchen equipment, but no paper goods, coffee, consumables, supplies, or items in the refrigerator or pantry, unless special arrangements have been made prior to the event.

Serving Pieces

Some silver and glass serving items and utensils, etc. are available for use. If you are interested in using these items, please contact the church host/hostess. None of these items should leave the church property. When releasing these items to your care, you are responsible for any damage or loss.
