Rent Our Facilities

Every event needs one person in charge — an adult age 21 or older who is responsible for the group and the building from start to finish. List their name and contact information on your application.

During the event, they will:

• Arrive at least 15 minutes before the event begins

• Make sure there are enough adult supervisors to keep good order

• Keep guests within the approved areas

• Stay until every guest has left

Before leaving, they will make sure:

• Furniture and equipment are back where they belong

• Trash is bagged and placed in the proper containers

• Lights are set as instructed

• Vehicles are parked only in designated areas

• All doors and windows are closed

• The follow-up evaluation is submitted to the Admin Director

Renters are responsible for the proper use and care of IPA property, including the building, parking lot, and equipment. Report any damage to the Church Administrative Director within 24 hours; repair costs (beyond normal wear and tear) will be billed to the responsible person or organization.

Decorations must be removed immediately after your event unless agreed otherwise. Tape, adhesives, nails, pins, and tacks on walls are not allowed unless approved before you sign the agreement.

Guests must stay in the areas requested and approved for use. Smoking, firearms, obscene language, illicit drugs, fireworks, and disorderly conduct are prohibited. Tobacco (smoking or chewing) and alcoholic beverages are strictly prohibited anywhere on IPA property and campus. No animals are allowed indoors except service dogs.

The IPA kitchen is not a food preparation facility. Food may be reheated, arranged, and served, but must be prepared before it arrives unless otherwise agreed.

• Bring your own pots, pans, utensils, plates, cups, napkins, and food — don’t use IPA’s kitchen supplies.

• Wash, dry, and return anything you use to its place. Borrowed equipment goes on the kitchen sign-out sheet.

• Label and date anything left in the refrigerator or freezer; items may be discarded.

• Follow the posted appliance and cleanup instructions. The person in charge must be trained on requested appliances and present whenever the kitchen is in use.

A custodial fee of $20/hour applies when cleanup isn’t done.

IPA does not assume responsibility for personal injury, property damage, or loss suffered by anyone using its facilities. Non-IPA groups are responsible for the care and safety of their members and guests and for protecting their own equipment.

Non-IPA groups may be asked for proof of public liability insurance naming IPA as an additional insured. Extended or substantial use requires at least $500,000 combined single limit. Renters agree to indemnify IPA for any liability arising from their event and sign the Voluntary Release (included in the application below).

Youth groups must be supervised by adults at a ratio of at least one adult for every ten minors, and never fewer than one adult over age 21.

IPA reserves the right to have a designated IPA representative on-site whenever a non-IPA group or private individual is using the facilities.

Your $100 security deposit is forfeited if you cancel less than 30 days before the event, or for damage or failure to follow the facility rules.

In an emergency, IPA may cancel facility use without prior notice and will explain the reason within a reasonable time. After a natural disaster or significant property damage, IPA may cancel or change dates, times, or locations.

Violating these policies may result in permission being denied or revoked before, during, or for future events.

All parking is open to your event. If more is needed, the back side of the church may be used when the ground isn’t wet.

Church functions and IPA groups have first priority on the master calendar kept by the Church Administrative Director. Reservations can be made no more than 11 months in advance. For-profit activities require a Governing Board review before approval.
