Reserve our space!
Waukee United Methodist Church (WUMC) allows individuals and groups from inside and
outside the congregation to use our facility. While the WUMC facilities exist first for WUMC’s
worship and ministry, we want to extend hospitality to our community. Opening our doors to a
variety of individuals, organizations, and groups is a way of showing WUMC’s Christian love to
the community.
Scheduling of all facility usage, congregational or otherwise, must be done either through the
link below or by contacting the Church Office at office@waukeechurch.org

Audio Visual Equipment and Use
WUMC has a professional grade sound and video projection system in the Multipurpose
room. Church policy requires that a WUMC trained technician must be on site to set up and
operate audio and video equipment. If you plan on using this equipment, detail your request on
the Request for Facility Use Form and a technician will be assigned to you ($50 /hour, payable
directly to technician). Advance planning discussion is required with the AV technician in order
to coordinate and ensure compatible formatting with WUMC’s system. Set-up and sound checks
with the technician must take place during the rental time frame. Content must be in alignment
with WUMC’s mission and vision (church setting) and should be submitted to the church office
one week in advance of the event via flash drive.

both the liaison and the vendor. Pig roasts, grills, and ovens are not allowed to be set up on the

food service provider. Caterers must provide proof of insurance 30 days prior to the event.
