Community Church UU

CCUU offers limited ongoing use of its building to select community organizations. Others may request one-time, short-term, or long-term use with approval.

Priority for space use:

1. CCUU programming and membership needs
2. CCUU-sponsored non-profits
3. Other non-profits
4. For-profit groups (if aligned with CCUU’s purpose)

All rentals require a completed Building Use Agreement and approval from a CCUU official. Scheduling conflicts are resolved by CCUU, with priority given to members, long-term renters, and then one-time renters.

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’ll receive the Building Use Application & Agreement Form via email or can pick it up in person during a tour.

Complete & Submit: Return the completed form ASAP with any relevant details to help us determine if we can accommodate your request.Submission Options:

Important: A rental is not confirmed until the completed form is submitted, approved, and a deposit is paid. Verbal agreements (tour, phone, or email) do not hold a reservation.

🔹 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.

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

Please note that the rental fees do not include use of the piano, sound system, or CCUU personnel. Special arrangements must be made separately for these services.

OPEN-CLOSE FEE: There is an additional one-time 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. 

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) will be accommodated, depending on availability at the discretion of the Board of Trustees and/or 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.

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), 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.

Please pay final balance in full at least 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.

25% of your rental fee will be returned if your event is cancelled 2-6 days in advance of the date.

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.
