"CHURCH WITH OTHERS"

 

Current regulations allow private indoor gatherings of up to 50 people provided social distancing measures are maintained. If you are unable to attend our onsite services, we encourage you to take advantage of these new measures and enjoy church with another family, or friend! Invite someone over, enjoy the livestream experience together! Who will you invite? We will continue to livestream our services, going forward. Please keep in mind that it is important to stay within the provincial guidelines for social distancing in these groups.

 

ONSITE AT 116 BASKIN DRIVE


Late summer/early fall - In favorable conditions, our Sunday morning service will be outdoors, social distancing maintained but no masks required. When conditions necessitate moving indoors, we can seat up to 110 individuals (30% capacity), maintaining 2 meter distancing, and masks are required unless contraindicated due to medical conditions or limitations. Please bring your own mask. While music will continue to be an essential part of our worship, we will not sing aloud together indoors to minimize potential contact with droplets. 

NEW - Pre-register for each Sunday service to help us prepare, and to assist with recording attendance.
