What does In-Person Worship Look like?

1. The spaces used during Sunday services are disinfected before, in between, and after services.
2. Attenders are required to wear a face covering while in the building and to apply hand sanitizer upon entry.  If you do not have one, we will provide masks at the Welcome Center.
3. There is limited capacity and socially distanced seating.
4. To ensure that we do not exceed our seating capacity attenders need to get a ticket on-line for the service that they are planning to attend, and ushers will seat attenders to ensure that there is 6 feet between each household (typically three empty chairs between households).
5. The services are “touch free”.  We continue to produce a bulletin, connection card, and inserts but attenders will either have to print these at home and bring them to church or use the available digital options.   We continue to encourage on-line giving and the on-line connection card, however there will be a plate at the back of the Worship Center that individuals can drop these items into after each service.
6. Please bring your own water if needed, we are holding off in providing coffee or water at this time.

Children and Youth Programs

– Kids reserve their spots for Faith Kidz, just like grown ups do.
– We can fit 30 kids per service.
– Masks are required for children and all Faith Kidz Leaders.
– If a child does not have a mask, there are extras at the Faith Kidz Welcome Desk.
– All Kidz need to check in at the Faith Kidz Welcome Desk where their name tag and the parent code tag will be waiting for them too. 🙂
– After hand sanitizing, parents are given their parent code tag, and children will be walked to the gym with a Faith Kidz volunteer.
– Faith Kidz volunteers will put child’s name tag on the classroom clipboard.
– Each child will have their own socially distant square to hang out in while in Faith Kidz.
