Our priority is your wellness and safety!
Current COVID Guidelines
Updated January 6, 2022
Over the past two weeks, there has been a significant increase in COVID cases across the state of Illinois. The Illinois Department of Public Health shows Region 11 at a current daily positivity rate of 14% with a 7-day average of 18%. This is a strong surge up from November when the rate was at 1.97%.
As we have repeatedly emphasized, your wellness and safety is the priority of our church’s leadership. Our goal is to continue to meet together, to encourage one another, and otherwise help each other to live the Christian life, safely. With that in mind, we are updating our Covid guidelines, with enhanced safety measures, effective beginning this weekend.
THESE ENHANCED GUIDELINES DO NOT IMPACT OUR NORMAL WEEKLY SCHEDULE.
