Frequently Asked Questions


Q: When will in-person worship service resume?

A: In-person worship service will resume on Sunday, November 7, 2021 at 10:30 am.  Live-streaming will continue to be offered.

Q: What safety protocols have been established to keep us safe when we return to in-person worship?

A: The following safety protocols have been established to keep us safe when we return to in-person worship:

  • All attendees will be required to register for in-person worship service or event to ensure we are remaining compliant with the maximum building occupancy limit.   Socially distant seating will be implemented based on registrations received (i.e., persons will be seated with family members). 
  • Hand sanitizing stations and disinfecting wipes will be located throughout the church.
  • The sanctuary will be thoroughly cleaned before and after each service and/or activity with Microban and fogging disinfectant.
             o   Disinfectant fogging uses vaporized disinfectant sprayed from a fogging machine to sanitize all surfaces the vapor comes into contact with. It’s
                  fast-acting and dries within minutes. It’s similar to spraying your entire home with disinfectant spray.
  • Your temperature will not be taken. Per the CDC it is not a good indicator for symptoms of COVID-19.
  • If you are experiencing any symptoms of COVID-19 or have been exposed to the virus, please consider worshipping with us online until you are well.

Q: Am I required to be fully vaccinated to attend in-person worship service or church sponsored events?

A:  No, you are not required to be fully vaccinated and, to minimize the barrier for people to worship, your vaccination status will not be asked. For situational awareness, close to 90% of those persons who completed the Return to Church survey have been vaccinated. Lastly, masks are required to be worn at all times.

Q. Will there be children’s church?

A: Children's Church will not be available immediately; however, teams are working on implementing a safe solution for return.

There will be color coded social bands provided during the in-person worship services. Since there will be a wide range of comfort levels regarding physical proximity and contact and some may find it awkward to let others know their greeting preferences; these bands will help attendees signal their preference for physical greetings.
