Purpose Statement Regarding Facility Use

The facilities at Crown Point Christian School were provided through God’s benevolence and made possible by His working through the sacrificial generosity of its Association members, friends, family and the Evangelical Christian community which it desires to serve. The Association, its governing Board and the school Administration desire that the facilities be used for the fellowship of the Body of Christ and to bring glory to God. Although the facilities are not generally open to the public, we make our facilities available for use by Association members, friends and family as a witness to our faith, in a spirit of Christian community and as a means of demonstrating the Gospel of Jesus Christ in practice. However, facility use will not be permitted to persons or groups holding, advancing or advocating beliefs or practices that conflict with the school’s Statement of Faith. Nor will the school’s facilities be used for activities that contradict, or are deemed inconsistent with, the school’s faith or moral teachings. Allowing the school’s facilities to be used by groups who express beliefs or engage in practices contrary to the school’s faith would have a negative impact on the message that the school strives to promote, and it would cause confusion and scandal to the community because they may reasonably perceive that the school agrees with the beliefs or practices of the person or groups using its facilities. (2 Cor 6:14, 1 Thess 5:22) The President of the Board of Trustees or his/her designee will be the final decision-maker concerning the use of the school facilities.
