COST: $150
While tents are expensive to purchase and maintain, the WVCSB seeks to offer the tent as economically as possible. Therefore, a $150 user fee is charged each time the tent is used.
The fee is the same whether used one day or 15 days, and covers the costs of maintenance for the tent and the cost of a tent coordinator to supervise the setting up and taking down of the tent.
SCHEDULING THE TENT
The tent may be scheduled for a maximum of nine days by a church or mission. For an associational or area revival, the tent may be scheduled for a maximum of fifteen days.
All requests for scheduling must be made on the form below, and must be completed in full and returned with check payable to the West Virginia Convention of Southern Baptists to confirm dates. All requested dates will be confirmed on a first come-first served basis.
