- Front doors and drive thru doors will be staffed with ushers to open the door and help you maintain social distancing while waiting to be seated.
- You will be asked by church staff as you enter the building if your temperature can be checked to help ensure the safety of all members.
- Ushers will seat each member/family in a manner that allows for social distancing, do not expect to sit in your normal area of the church, please be patient as we work to keep you and the church body safe.
- After being seated by an usher please remain in your seat until dismissed or if absolutely necessary to use the restroom please return quickly to your seat.
- Families will need to maintain children in attendance with them and assist in keeping them from visiting other families seated in the church.
- Shaking hands and hugging will be strictly prohibited, a Holy Wave will suffice.
- Sunday Morning services only at the close of the service each pew will be dismissed by the pastor, deacons, or ushers. Please remain seated until your pew is dismissed.
- Sunday Evening and Wednesday night services, we ask that you maintain social distancing while exiting and not congregate in the common areas.
- Follow CDC guidelines for social distancing at all times when inside and outside of the church.
- The church will be disinfected once a week to help ensure the health and safety of the congregation.
- These guidelines will be monitored and revised as we receive more information on COVID-19 data in our county, surrounding counties, and local community. While we all want to be back together with our church family our continued concern is keeping the church body safe.
