Please note: If you are in the higher risk age (65+) or have underlying medical conditions that would put you at higher risk or you’re a little fearful to attend we recommend that you continue to join us via livestream from home. We are believing that the time will come where all obstacles of coming to church physically will be broken. We are standing with you all in faith and love you dearly!

High Priority Information: If you have been in close contact with someone who has tested positive for COVID-19, have traveled internationally or to a domestic hot spot in the last 14 days, please stay home and join us online. To return you must either have taken a test (since the contact) and tested negative for COVID-19 or have self quarantined for 14 days (since the contact). Please contact the church office, ministry leader or life group leader to keep us apprised of your situation.

If you have Covid-19, flu and or cold symptoms, please stay home and join us online. Let’s keep the family safe, you may join us when you are symptom free!

WHAT WE ARE DOING AS A CHURCH:

• Additional Cleaning: Deep cleaning and sanitizing measures will be performed before and between each service.
• Screening Volunteers: All staff and volunteers will be pre-screened for any COVID related symptoms before each service.
• Hand Sanitizer Stations: Hand sanitizer stations are available at entrances and throughout the building.
• Hands Free Experience: All doors will be open for you wherever possible and we will not be passing offering buckets, however we do have contact free drop boxes in the Sanctuary.
• Seat Spacing: We have reduced our seating areas to less than half capacity. Please leave 2 empty seats between you and others who are not part of your family or household. Single attendees must sit in the single chair rows or the last seat of a row only. Our usher team will be available to assist.
• Handshakes & Hugs: At this time, out of consideration and care for everyone and to promote physical distancing, we have asked all staff and volunteers to refrain from handshakes and hugs, and we are asking all of our guests to do so as well. We appreciate your help and cooperation with this as we work hard together to keep everyone safe and comfortable.
• Overflow Seating: If needed we will have overflow seating in the Hub located in the southeast corner of the building. The Hub will have the same seating requirements as the Auditorium.
• Foyer: Please do not gather in the foyer before or after service. We ask that when service is over you exit the building immediately. Remember, this is temporary; things will change for the better!

KIDS/YOUTH MINISTRY: 

Kids/Youth ministry will be open with a limited capacity for 2-17 year-olds. Newborn up to 2 years old will not be staffed and will require a parent to be with the child if you choose to use the nursery. Parents must wear masks if another parent and child is present in the nursery.

Our volunteers and staff are excited to regather with your kids and have taken additional steps to ensure a clean, safe, and fun environment for your family. We’ve updated our Kid’s and Student’s spaces to include new safety and health protocols.

• Enhanced our cleaning across every room and every surface
• Added temperature checks upon check in for staff, volunteers, and kids (11 years and younger)
• Masks: We will not require face masks for your children. We are going to leave that decision up to each individual family. Members of our staff and volunteer team who come in direct contact with Children up to 11 years old will wear masks.
• Hand sanitizing stations are at the entrance of each room.
• Additionally, we are also asking parents not to check in any personal items that are brought in from home.
• Social Distancing: Children don’t always socially distance well. We will do our best, but we suggest that if you or someone in your household is vulnerable to sickness, a better option might be to continue to join us online.
• Once the classroom is at check-in capacity, we will ask any remaining families that were not able to check in their child to please join us in the main auditorium as long as there is seating available.

Children must be symptom free for 72 hours before being admitted to any service. Children cannot be sneezing, coughing, display discharge or have flu-like symptoms. Please stay home if sick.

WHAT WE ARE ASKING YOU TO DO:

• Distancing: We are asking each family to please practice physical distancing and remain 6 feet from others whenever possible. Please be especially mindful of this while entering and leaving the facility and throughout our common areas.
• Spread out a little: Please leave 2 empty seats between you and others who are not part of your family or household. Our usher team will be available to assist.
• Single attendees: Please sit in the single chair rows or the last seat of a row only.
• Face Coverings or Masks: As a church, we do not have to require our congregation to wear face masks, but we encourage you to prayerfully consider wearing one as an extra protection for your Love Life family.
• At Risk Groups: If you are elderly or have underlying medical conditions that would put you at higher risk, we recommend that you continue to join us via livestream from home.
• Before and after service: Please get your seat right away when arriving and leave when church service has been dismissed. Do not gather in the foyer please.

Thank you for your kindness, flexibility, and understanding as we regather together! As always we will keep you  apprised. If you have any questions, please call our church office at 623-872-4998. We look forward to seeing you soon!
