Reserving Church Facilities

Lafayette-Orinda Presbyterian Church considers it a ministry and a privilege to make its facilities available to its many committee groups,  as well as other local religious and community groups.  The purpose of the event must support the overall mission of the church. LOPC is not available to any group or individual for fund-raising or business purposes.  LOPC members and programs have priority in facilities usage and scheduling.

For Memorial and Wedding Ceremonies

A church lay member is available to help with your reservation and ceremony details. Please call (925) 283-9990 ext 111.

Redecorating

It is expected that all groups using the church facilities will exercise care in protecting the buildings and furniture against damage and will restore the rooms to good condition (disposing of trash, straightening tables and chairs, wiping up spills, etc.)  Any plans for decorating must be cleared with the Facilities Coordinator in advance. Repair costs for any damage to facilties will be the responsibility of the group. No alcoholic beverages or smoking is allowed on the church premises.

Insurance

The church assumes no liability for non-LOPC groups on the church premises,  therefore the sponsoring group must have insurance to cover the event and its participants.  A Certificate of Insurance listing Lafayette-Orinda Presbyterian Church as an 'Additional Insured' must be presented to the church office two weeks before the event.
