Being The Church in the Midst of COVID-19

Out of Love for One Another & Our Community, We are Carefully Gathering in Response to our County's Guidelines

We are currently at Level 4 

You can see the basics of the various levels below, which you can download (Path to Reopening Rev.pdf) for easy reference. The specific guidelines for both On & Off-Campus Church gatherings are detailed and downloadable here:Level 4 Guidelines.pdf. As we live into the current guidelines and loving one another, we encourage masks (but do not require them), and we seek to be mindful of physical distance for the health and safety of others. 

Sunday Worship Services are now both In-Person & Live Streamed with Classic @9am AND Modern @10:45am. 

We ask individuals to refrain from attendance at any size gathering if you or anyone in your household:

  • has a fever, cough, or recent loss of sense of taste/smell;
  • has been exposed to COVID-19 within two weeks of event, unless fully immunized;
  • have reason to believe they might have COVID-19.

Worship

Attend In-Person or via Live Stream: Classic @ 9am Sunday AND Modern @10:45 am. 

At Level 4, larger in-person indoor gatherings are appropriate. Pre-registration is not required. Attendees are encouraged to practice loving mindfulness of others. Masks are strongly encouraged and physical distance is still suggested.

Your faithful and generous giving still matters.

Ministry Events

We continue to offer a combination of In-Person, Zoom, Google Hangout, YouTube, Instagram or Facebook. 

Praise the Lord for the creativity and adaptability and the tools to engage in ministry together while maintaining the social distance that is prudent and loving. As we have moved into other levels, more events, meetings and gatherings are happening in person. All the details are being communicated via email and on our events calendar. Ministry staff and leaders are available to answer any questions you have and help you engage.
