Three-Stage Plan
Stage 1 of our reopening plan is a prudent, sober first step (with limited attendance, social distancing, etc.) that will put us on the path towards something more “normal” over time.
As of May 31, we have made a modification to the plan (dubbed “Stage 1b“): (a) our attendance cap is 60 people (increased from 50) and (b) children 4 and up who are able to sit through a whole service are invited to attend (we will not yet be offering nursery or children’s ministry activities).
In a Nutshell
(Note: Modified for the changes in Stage 1b)
 | One service at 11:00 am during Stage 1 Maximum attendance of 60 due to social distancing and space constraints |
 | All attendees will need to reserve a spot before the service (opens on Thursday, May 14) |
 | Facemasks will be worn while in the building (except for musicians/speakers up front); we will provide one if needed (or make your own) |
 | We ask the following to worship via livestream at home: 65+ and/or high-risk (or live with someone who is), symptomatic of COVID, recently traveled to hot-spot, and children below 4 or who are unable to sit through the service |
Below you will find a video of the pastors discussing the plan in detail, as well as links where you can read it on your own.
