REVIVAL POLICIES FOR SCM


All our meetings are conducted under the same policy. Regardless of it being a Tent Meeting, Revival Meeting, Bible Study or even pulpit supply.  We do not ask for anything other than if possible, at any meetings other than pulpit supply, that your church take up a love offering.  We only ask that a love offering be taken and the people be given an opportunity to give.  If you would rather have a donation box that is fine as well.  Any offerings should be promoted by the pastor, and will not be promoted by Steve Cody Ministries. If your church budget only allows for an offering of a certain amount, that is fine also.  We do not want money to be any problem with any meeting!


As far as Steve and Mary Cody, we do not request any travel expenses nor any lodging and meal expenses, however if given we appreciate it very much!   If possible we prefer to park on the church property, however we will require RV hookups for electric and water.  For most meetings, we will not need a sewer hook up.  Also we do not run extension cords thru windows or door.  With the high power needed in the modern RVs, there is a danger of fire when that is done.  If there is no place for us to park at the church, we will find an RV park nearby.  If the church wants to cover the cost for the RV park, that is fine, if not,  we will cover the costs for our RV at the park.  We do not want money to hinder any meeting, in any way!





TENT MEETING REQUIREMENTS


SCM has two tents which we can use for meetings if required.  We do not charge a fee for the tents, nor do we rent or loan our tents.   There are some requirements that must be met before the tents can be used.

1.  The Large tent, seating about 250, will need at least 8 men to help set up.  Any less, we will not be able to           erect the tent.  The smaller tent, seating about 100, will need at least 3 men to help set up.

2. When we use the tents, we furnish the tent, side curtains, pulpit, and lights.

3. The area needs to be clear of any overhead structures and of brush, trees etc for the area.  The large     tent is 40  x 60, and will require an area of 60 x-100 feet to accommodate for the stakes.  The smaller tent    is 30 x30, and    will require an area approximately 50 x 50 to set up.   The site must have rest room       facilities and  electric  available.

4. Your church or organization should furnish all chairs and tables needed.  Trash containers should be     provided. Also, rest room facilities must be available for those attending to use.  In some cases when the meeting is near our home base, we may be able to furnish some chairs.
