Community Church UU

CCUU offers limited use of its building to select community organizations and for single use, private events and activities. Renters may request one-time, short-term, or long-term use with approval via the application process.

Approval for space use:

All rentals require that a prospective renter complete an online Building Rental Request Form that will be reviewed by the office administrator. Scheduling conflicts are resolved by CCUU, with priority given to members, long-term renters, and then one-time renters.

IMPORTANT: Rental requests will not be approved over the phone! You must fill out the online form to start the process.

Important: Approval does not imply CCUU endorsement. Events must not be promoted as CCUU-sponsored, and activities must align with CCUU and UUA values.

Submit a Rental Request: Fill out the online Building Rental Request Form.

Receive Application: If space is available, you agree to the rental fee, and we can accommodate your event requirements, you’ll then receive the Building Use Application & Agreement Form via email from the office administrator. You may also pick up a form in person during a tour.

Complete & Submit: Return the completed form ASAP with any additional details.

Submission Options:

🔹 Email: Send as a PDF to admin@ccuunola.org

🔹 Mail/Deliver In-Person:

ATTN: Building Rental

New Orleans, LA 70124

Important: A rental is NOT confirmed until this completed form is submitted, approved, and a 25% non-refundable deposit is paid to hold your date. Failure to pay this deposit may allow your reservation to be cancelled so that it is available to another prospective renter. Verbal agreements will not “hold a reservation” and cannot be made during a tour, phone call, or via email. Please remember to follow the steps listed above.

🔹 Recurring Rentals: Not available for Friday & Saturday evenings or Sunday mornings.
🔹 CCUU Members: To request facility use, please fill out the member request form listed under “member exemptions” in the “fees” tab above.

These rates are for general, one-time, private events for space rental ONLY.

Contact our Office Administrator at admin@ccuunola.org if your rental request is weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly for frequency rates.

OPERATIONAL FEE – There is an additional impact fee of $50.00 for opening and closing the building added to the total rental fee for all one-time events. For any event that is scheduled to close after 9pm, there will be an additional cost of $25.00 added to the total cost.

Please note that the rental fees do not include use of the piano, sound system, or CCUU personnel. We do not hire or manage musicians or bands or arrange catering for private rentals. Special arrangements must be made separately for these services by the renter. It is recommended that renters should require ANY hired personnel to view our spaces prior to the event to ascertain their adaptability.

Non-profit organizations approved by the Community Outreach Ministry may have rental fees reduced or waived at the recommendation of the committee and with the approval of the Board of Trustees. Impact fees will still apply where applicable.

Any organization that charges admission to attend their event held at CCUU will pay full rental fees.

Final balance must be paid and delivered or mailed to the office at least 7 days in advance of your event.

Failure to pay by this date may result in cancellation and your space will be available to another renter. “Every week” rentals should be paid by the first of each month in advance of the next month (EX: A weekly schedule for October should be paid by or before October 1st.)

Use of the tables and chairs in each space is included in all rental fees.

It is assumed that renters will be responsible for all their own set up and clean up, and that these activities will occur during the specified rental period slot and that the facilities will be left in the condition in which they were found.

Early setup (prior to a 30 minute “grace” period which is included) will be accommodated, depending on availability at the discretion of the Administrative Staff, and may incur an impact fee of $25. Such setup cannot interfere with other scheduled usage of the building, and setup may not take place more that 24 hours prior to the event. CCUU is not responsible for loss or damage to any of the renter’s materials or equipment.

If cleanup is required after a group departs, it will be billed to that group at a rate of $35/hour and can result in cancellation or denial of future usage agreements with that organization or entity.  

PLEASE NOTE: We are a ‘Green Facility’ and offer a recycling bin for all plastic containers, plastic and glass bottles, aluminum cans, and mixed paper that you need to dispose of after your activities.

We recommend taking unused food to a community shelter such Ozanam Inn on Poydras. And please pack up any major decorations such as centerpieces, etc., or encourage attendees to take these items home instead of tossing it in our garbage bins.

In order to reserve space for your one-time event, CCUU requires payment upon submission of your application once your rental rate has been confirmed. 

If you are a weekly/monthly renter, please plan to have your payment for the full month available in advance on the first of each month.

    * We can accept cash (please deliver during office hours to receive a receipt), can accept card payments, and checks (please mail or deliver to the church).

DEPOSIT

Please submit 25% of your rental fee as a non-refundable deposit when your application is accepted. Failure to do so means that your reservation is not confirmed or secure.

We require that the final balance is paid in full 7 days in advance of your event. 

CANCELLATION FEES

No refunds will be given to any request for cancellation within 24 hours of the event.

For any rental that has been paid in full 8+ days in advance of the date, 25% of your total will be returned if your event is cancelled.

Members of the Congregation are not charged rental fees for not-for-profit meeting use of the church facilities.

However, members hosting private, personal events will be charged the one-time impact fee to open and close the building ($50) and for hours that exceed 3 hours (4+ hours will be $25 per hour).

For any Member private event that is scheduled to close after 9pm, there will be an additional cost of $25.00, bringing the total “open-close” fee to $75.00.

IMPORTANT: Members using the building for private, for-profit, commercial events (whether or not there is an admission price) will be subject to all standard rental costs as any other private rental.  Any exceptions to this policy must be approved by the Board.
