Defining Term And Procedures

Today we believe it is critical for us to define terms and procedures so that ministry leaders we work with can make effective decisions as they review the risk factors of their ministry with us.  We believe good communication and properly tailored applications will result in the right balance with this knowledge and understanding as developed in the relationship we offer our clients.  Our assistance in person or other is as near as your email or phone.*

How you define retirement today is a critical element for your planning and journey toward it. The decision to defer the necessary planning for your future security today may be the neglectfully developed architecture of your own demise.  It has often been said, "you are as old as you think you are," or that "your attitude is the key element for a successful life journey."  These are more critical today then ever as people are living long and facing more stress.  The choices you make influenced by your definition of your retirement, will set in motion the terms you that will develop your retirement as you journey toward it.  The terms for your retirement and the type of retirement whether it be a full retirement or a partial as many desire today could be a critical factor in living longer and enjoying it more.

When others desire to use your church or school facilities that are not part of your church or school community, there are some critical elements that should be considered. You should have a building use from which each entity that desires to use your church or school facilities completes covering the following:

1. Name and address of the entity.
2. The responsible person for the entity with contact information.
3. Area they desire to use
4. Dates and time of use.
5. Size of their group
6. Nature of the use
7. Your form should also outline their expected responsibilities they are to follow as they use your facilities, including how and what condition it is to be returned back to you.  This area should also outline possible expectations that cover possible damage or other issues of risk...
8. Do they currently have liability insurance that offers at least $1,000,000, if their coverage is less then that they would need to take the time to meet that..
9. They should be required to furnish your church or church school a certificate of insurance showing your church or church school as an additional named insured.
10. Should they not carry insurance you could referred them to our office so that we might obtain them the necessary coverage.
11. A copy of the certificate of insurance along with your annotation should be forwarded to our office. Please keep a copy for your records as well.

When you allow others that are not related to your church or church school communiuty to use your facilities they increase your risk factors just as if they were the owner for the property in your stead. Therefore it is important to check out each entity before use.
