Facility Use Policy

We are glad to be able to offer you use of the facilities at First United Methodist Church for your function. For weddings, please see the Wedding Policy section under Facilities. To help ensure that all groups have a pleasant, safe, and clean meeting place, each group must adhere to the following:

For church-wide activities: If you need special set-up of the furniture please let the church administrator know in advance so arrangements can be made to take care of it.

Groups may not rearrange the furniture to meet their needs, unless they receive prior approval from the Church Administrator. If approval is given, groups must leave things as they found them. A Fellowship Hall diagram can be found on the main Facilities page.

Groups may not remove, rearrange, or add to any of the existing wall hangings, window treatments, or decorations.

Groups may not use thumbtacks, tape, or any other material that will mar or scar the furnishings or the structure.

Wedding Policy

A message to the Bride and Groom:

The members of the First United Methodist Church of Crestview, Florida are happy that you have chosen to have your Service of Marriage at First United Methodist Church. A church wedding is a service of worship. The planning, decorating, music, processional, and ceremony shall be in keeping with the Service of Marriage. When a man and a woman enter into holy matrimony, they pledge their faith to each other and enter into a holy covenant with God. In the ceremony, the blessing of God is invoked and the sanction of the Church is affirmed with reverence and with faith.

It is the desire of FUMC and its staff that every church wedding be profoundly spiritual in nature. If these procedures and policies are fully understood and followed, your wedding will be a happy and worshipful experience for all concerned.
