Re-opening!

Starting on May 24th, we plan to begin holding services in our building again!!!  (And growth groups through Zoom!)
​Gathering as the church for worship is essential & can be done in a safe way! Grab the whole family, invite some friends, and join us for a life changing experience. We can't wait GATHER together again!!!!
What's the plan? 
1. We will gather in 2 separate venues (upstairs & downstairs) for 2 services at 9:00 & 10:30am. 
2. Guests will be required to pre-register and be assigned seating with 6ft of distance between other guest/families. 
3. In order to maintain this distance, a limited number of seats will be available. 
3. Our team of volunteers will do our best to help you experience a touch-less service. 
4. We recommend that you and your family wear a cloth face covering or mask & use proper hygiene. 

​What happens once I arrive?
1. Maintain 6ft of distance between you/your family and other guests as you enter or wait in line to enter. 
2. Our ushers will direct you to your seats "with only infrequent or incidental moments of closer proximity."
3. All families are required to remain seated for the entire (shortened) service. 
4. Remain at home if you are high-risk or showing any symptoms of sickness and join our online worship experience. 

What will children’s programming look like?
Your children will join you in the worship center for a family-friendly experience. Our service will be drastically shortened and the sermon series will be focused on the best stories of the Bible! 
Here are some helpful tips to make it a great time for them:
1. We will have peeweePorch coloring sheets and crayons available for each child.
2. Bring a tablet or mobile device and a pair of headphones – during the service your child can click below and watch this weekend’s Bible lesson for each age group!

What precautions is thePorch taking?
We are taking every step of precaution as prescribed by the CDC to ensure that thePorch is safe, secure and spacious for your family and will: 
1. Disinfect all doorknobs and other commonly touched surfaces both before each service begins. .
2. Refrain from passing offering plates, communion trays, or other implements that may be repeatedly touched.
3. Ushers & Greeters will wear gloves & masks. 
4. Every chair will be sanitized prior to and between each worship experience.
5. We encourage all attendees over the age of 65 or those who have a compromised immune system to worship online. 
6.  If you have had any of the following symptoms this week, please worship with us online:
    - Fever 
    - Cough or Sore Throat
