FAQs

• Is ___ date available?

To find out if a date is available, call the office at 254-829-1685 or send an email to elmmottbc@gmail.com.

• What days do you rent out the Activity Center? How long is the rental for?

We generally only rent the Activity Center once a week, and not on any dates that conflict with church activities. Most people rent our Activity Center for a weekend date, for one day. We can usually accommodate a weekday rental, and we have on occasion accepted a multi-day rental. We have no specific time limitations or curfews for the day you have rented.

• How much does it cost?

The fee to rent the Activity Center is $175. There is also a $200 refundable deposit.

• What forms of payment should I use?

Cash and checks both work well. We don’t have a good way to accept credit card or online payments. We also don’t have petty cash around to make change, but we can be flexible in handling small over- or under-payments by cash. For example, if you don’t have the exact bills to pay $175 but can pay $180, we can add the extra $5 to your deposit refund.

• How do I reserve the Activity Center?

To officially reserve the Activity Center, you need to complete the rental form and pay the deposit. You can either come by the office during the secretary’s office hours (Wednesday and Friday 2:00-5:00 PM) to fill out or drop off the form and deposit, or you can drop both in the metal drop box by our office door.

• What is your Activity Center like?

It is a building that consists of one large room 60’ x 40’, two bathrooms, an ice machine, and a full kitchen. There is a large paved area for parking, as well as the parking around the Sanctuary.

• How big a group can the Activity Center accommodate?

We have tables and chairs for around 75 people. The upper capacity limit is 150 people.

• Is Alcohol allowed?

Alcohol is NOT allowed on the premises. We have a strict no alcohol policy. If we find evidence of alcohol consumption after the event, you will forfeit your $200 deposit.

• What does the church supply?

The church supplies ice through the ice machine. Some serving dishes and utensils are available to use. Their is some space in the fridge and freezer for your use. Please bring your own paper goods.

• Can I come early to set up, or set up the day before?

Yes! Since we rent by the day and not the hour, you are free to come by earlier in the day to set up. Many people who have the Activity Center rented for a Saturday come by to set up on Friday afternoon or evening, and that’s perfectly fine as well.
