Student Parking Rules
The members of Faith Lutheran Church of Kent make available limited use of their parking facilities as a courtesy for your convenience. Because our first priority is to provide parking for our church activities, and because space is limited, the Student Parking Rules must be strictly adhered to by outside parkers to whom we extend this courtesy.
Entering and exiting the parking lot
Please enter from Luther Avenue and exit onto Main Street or Crain Avenue. Do not enter the parking lot from Main Street. Doing so is a safety hazard and violators will have their parking permits revoked permanently.
Where to park
Please park in the designated spaces (marked with white lines) on the west side of our lot. When these spaces are occupied, you may park at other spots except for the spots facing west, which are adjacent to the Church Office. No parking is permitted along the driveway of the Luther Avenue entrance or along the exit drive onto Crain Avenue. Do not take two spaces to park one vehicle. Pull all the way into the parking space to ensure adequate room for cars to move through the driving lane. Longer vehicles should park towards the back of the lot (near the dumpsters).
