HELLO CHURCH FAMILY,

We are so thankful to be back in worship together on May 31, 2020! The video below gives the details about coming to worship during the COVID-19 response. Your pastoral staff and church leadership are committed to providing a safe and clean facility as we regather. We will open on May 31st with three services. The service times are:

8:30am (Senior Adult are encouraged to attend this service - At Risk viewing area provided)
10:00am (At Risk viewing area provided)
11:30am (At Risk viewing area NOT available this hour)

We will continue to stream Sunday School and Wednesday night activities.
We will not have childcare until further notice. We are excited to have the children with us in worship.
During this regathering stage, we will be evaluating each week as the government gives direction.

Take 15 minutes to watch the video. The details can also be found, typed out, below the video.

Again, if you do not feel comfortable returning to worship at this time, we will be streaming the 10 AM service every week. We also ask that you make the best possible decision for you and your family as we begin reopening our church, county, and country.
