Using Buildings (Chapel) for Personal Use - Process

#1

Post by mc3dcom »

If I wish to use my chapel to play basketball with my friends (males, members, and nonmembers, adults, and minors), Tuesday mornings (6:00-8:00 AM), weekly, and I have a key to enter the building, what is the process?

Discuss with your bishop. Be aware of General Handbook 35.5.2.3
Other uses of Church property that are not allowed include:

Holding organized athletic practices or other events that are not sponsored by the Church.

It is possible to use the chapel to celebrate a 15 years birthday?

Probably not the chapel. The cultural hall, primary, or relief society rooms would be more appropriate, especially if food is involved.

That's a question you need to direct to your bishop. Different areas may have different policies.
