Building Usage Criteria

Thank you for considering Fairfax Community Church for your organization’s event.  We receive numerous requests each week, most of which we are unable to grant.  Generally, in order to use our building, your event must be not-for-profit in nature and should demonstrate a benefit to the wider Northern Virginia community.

Event Criteria

Please review the following criteria to see if your event/group fits our building usage requirements:

• We do not make our facilities available for weekly or monthly reoccurring events, trainings, meetings or classes.
• Because of our own worship services, events must end by 12 noon on Saturday and are not scheduled on Sundays.
• We do not host worship services for other churches.
• Our facilities are not available as classroom space or other related events for schools.
• The building may not be used for personal celebrations (wedding anniversaries, birthdays, etc.)
• We do not host fundraising events or meetings.
• We do not host concerts, music recitals, music classes, dance recitals or dance/exercise classes.
• We are a non-profit organization and therefore do not permit for-profit ventures, trainings, meetings or events to be held in our building.
• Requests must be for non-political meetings or events.
• Event requests are reviewed and booked on a yearly basis. All request applications must be received by October 31 for events being considered for the upcoming year. Applications will be reviewed and notification will be given by December 15.
