1. Partisan political groups
2. Groups operating for commercial gain
3. Organizations and individuals whose activities are in conflict with the mission and

A. Worship gatherings
B. Meetings of ministry groups within the church
C. Weddings and funerals
D. Schools, arts, or community organizations
When a request is received via our rental request form, the church staff will consult the existing
calendar and support staff availability. The applicant will receive a response from Journey
Community Church within one week, along with an estimate for rental fees.
