COVID POLICIES
OUR POLICIES:
As a church, we strive to be a good neighbor to one another and also to find opportunities to continue to connect as a church. Our policies therefore are:
-
SOCIAL DISTANCING- We ask that you are sensitive to those at church and ask what they are comfortable with. For those who want to continue to distance and wear masks, we encourage respecting people’s space and comfort levels. Please be sensitive to others and their comfort levels.
-
WEARING MASKS- We leave the decision of wearing a mask up to the individual and family. Some who attend wear them and some don't, but we want everyone to feel welcome regardless. Masks are available at the Welcome Center.
-
FELLOWSHIP SAFELY- Please avoid gathering in large groups in the hallway or Worship Center. Maintain a safe distance while fellowshipping.
-
CAFE- Our coffee service is open on Sunday mornings in the church foyer. If you would like coffee, our volunteers will help safely serve and prepare your coffee. Our Cafe is located in the foyer by the main bathrooms.
-
COMMUNION- When we take communion as a church, volunteers will hand you your prepackaged communion cup. Packages of communion contain bread and juice that are entirely sealed, so you will be able to open it yourself.
-
OFFERING AND GIVING- We are currently not passing the offering plate to avoid lots of hands touch one item. Instead we have transitioned to offering boxes and online giving. If you would like to give, you can do get more information by going HERE.
CHILDREN'S MINISTRY (INFANTS-4TH GRADE):
Here are our COVID policies for our littlest church attenders. It is our goal to care for these little ones well and to provide and safe and sanitary environment for them. Children are never required to attend and so it is your decision as the guardian to decide if you are comfortable allowing your child to engage.
