Please know that we are doing our best to create a safe, clean environment for you and your family when you are at church. We know that each person in our church family falls somewhere along the spectrum of attitudes toward COVID safe guidelines, from very cautious to not worried at all. Please give us and those around you grace as we figure out this new environment together. We are regularly reviewing government and health guidelines and we will make changes to our church recommendations as these change in the coming weeks, but for now...
What's Different?
Bring some coloring books... We will not have nursery or kids church. We invite you to have your kids sit with you in the main auditorium. Our services will be no longer than one hour, so bring the kids and don't worry if they make a little noise.
Bring your own coffee... we will not have coffee service in the lobby and we will not be handing out paper bulletins. We are trying to eliminate as many high touch areas wherever possible.
Be like Batman... please help us keep those at risk safe by following New Mexico state guidelines. We encourage you to wear a mask in all public spaces, but it is not required. However, our leaders and staff will all be asked to wear masks on Sunday mornings.
Keep it moving... please do not congregate inside the lobby or the main auditorium. If you would like more time to hang out with all of the people that you have been missing, we invite you to move it outside in the fresh air of the parking lot.
It's cool to be distant... please maintain at least 6 feet of separation between you and others outside of your family. Also, please no hand shakes, hugs, chest bumps, or knuckles. Friendly waves are always welcomed. We will have seats blocked off in the main auditorium to help maintain physical distancing during the service.
Squeaky clean... We will be disinfecting the church in-between services and again after our final service of the day. We will wipe down the restrooms, door handles, light switches, tables, and any other surface areas that were used. We will also have hand sanitizer through out the building for you to use and we encourage you to bring your own hand sanitizer or hand wipes. We also strongly encourage those in the high-risk, vulnerable population to stay home and worship with us online HERE. We ask that everyone who comes to in-person services at the church building practice the following health recommendations:
- Stay home when you are sick. If you have had a fever of 100.4 or more in the past 48 hours, or if you have had any of the following symptoms, cough, chills, shortness of breath or difficulty breathing, muscle pain, sore throat, or loss of taste or smell, please stay home and worship with us online.
- Cover your coughs and sneezes with a tissue, then throw the tissue in the trash.
Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds.
Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands.
We know that these are a lot of changes, but please know that there are some things that will not change.
What's the Same?
We will continue to have two services, 9:00a and 10:45a.
We will still worship together with live music.
We will continue to pray for each other.
And, we will continue to share the message of Jesus and His love for us.
We are committed to helping all of our church members however we can as we navigate this new situation together, so please let us know if you have any questions or if you need anything at this time. We love you all and we are here for you whether you join us in person or online.
