Event Planning

Every event, no matter how simple or intricate, requires advance planning and organization. Our desire is to help you plan a successful event which aligns with our mission, ministries, and strategic priorities.

Our event planning policies have recently changed. Please carefully read the information below.

Facility Reservation Request Procedure

  • Prospective Event Hosts submit an Event Request Inquiry form, which is available below. This is an inquiry only and does not mean your event is approved or reserved.
  • Calendar Coordinator receives and reviews the Event Request Inquiry form.
  • Calendar Coordinator holds a weekly meeting with Chief Operating Officer to review Event Requests. These are either approved, under review (in consultation with the Rector/Vicar), deferred, or denied. 
  • Prospective Event Hosts will be notified of event approval status within one week.

Additional Notes

  • If you hope to serve alcohol in any way, please be sure to review our Alcohol Use Policy to ensure your event is in compliance with it.
  • Communications requests for events will not be reviewed until your event has been approved. We strongly recommend that you submit your request a minimum of 5 weeks ahead of your event’s registration deadline or before the event itself if there is no registration required. If you have a larger promotions ask, we suggest an even longer lead time.
  • During and after your event: Be sure to document your event with photos or videos and submit them using the Photo Submission Form or send us a downloadable album with details of the event. Please do not send messages without a subject line or without explanation of what is included. You may also submit photos of your event planning activities or work in progress. Questions? Email Director of Communications, Natalee Hill, or call 610-688-7947 x230.
  • If you have any questions about event planning, please contact Diane Dowlin by email here, or call 610-688-7947 x224.
