Masks
Please wear a mask inside the church building. You may remove it once seated, but should put it back on when you move from your seat.
Worship Service Guidelines
Protecting Ourselves & Others
Below are guidelines for how both you can protect the health of yourself & others, & what we're doing to protect our family & neighbors during our Sunday worship services & onsite meetings.
Precautions You Can Take
Touch
Please limit the touching of doors, pews, chairs, etc. This will help us with sanitation and the transition between services.
Social Distancing
Maintain social distancing (6 feet). You should only break social distancing with those you have been in close contact with outside of the church.
Exiting
Exit the building immediately after an usher dismisses your row. If you’d like to talk and fellowship with others, please do so in the parking lot before or after service.
Sunday Morning Logistics
Service Times
We’ll meet at 9:00 & 11:00 am. This will give us enough time to sanitize & seat those coming for the next service.
Other Ministries
No adult, student, or kids' ministries will meet Sunday mornings.
Congregational Worship
We’ve decided not to have congregational singing. Research shows that congregational singing can greatly increase the risk of spreading the virus. However, we are actively thinking through creative ways to still worship together & prepare our hearts.
Communion
We’re still discussing how best to safely serve communion.
Offering
We won’t pass the offering plate, but will have the following giving options:
- Dropboxes in the foyer
- Online giving
- Text giving
- Bank dropbox
Precautions We'll Be Taking
Bathrooms
Only select bathrooms will be available for use. Bathrooms will be sanitized on a regular basis.
Water Fountains
Water fountains will be turned off & water bottles provided.
Doors
Doors will be propped open, or during inclement weather, will be opened by a greeter.
Connection Central
At this time we won’t have any coffee, tea, or sitting areas.
Volunteer Teams
All volunteers & staff will wear masks during their time of service.
Sanitization
The Sanitization Team will wear masks and gloves & thoroughly sanitize any used spaces in the church following suggested guidelines from the CDC.
Greeters
Greeters will open doors, welcome people to service, & provide any pertinent information to those coming in.
Ushers
Ushers will escort individuals & families 1 family unit at a time, & will ensure social distance is maintained. At the end of service, they’ll dismiss attendees 1 row at a time starting at the back of the sanctuary.
