  • If a leader or youth are showing symptoms of COVID-19, not feeling well, or has been around someone who has recently LAB tested positive, we ask that they do not come. We also ask that if a youth has been sent home from school for health reasons, they also do not come.
  • No food (dinner) will be served for the time being. Canned drinks and battled water will be provided.
  • Youth and leaders will also be asked to discard their own trash and check the area around them for any personal belongings or beverages.
  • After Wednesday Night gatherings, the room will once again be sanitized using the same protocols that follow Sunday service.
  • If a youth or leader comes down with COVID-19, the church asks to be notified immediately.
