COVID-19
IN-PERSON SERVICES
PHASE ONE OF REOPENING

Under the guidelines of government officials, New Life will restart in-person services on May 16-17.  However, things will be different than usual.

While we cannot guarantee a germ-free environment, we are taking steps to help prevent transmission of Covid-19.  You can read more about those steps below.  If you are sick, have a fever, present any signs of cold, flu, or COVID-19 symptoms, or if you have been in contact with anyone who has had COVID-19 in the past 14 days, please stay home.

We care about your health and safety.  If you are in a high-risk group, we encourage you to continue attending online during Phase 1.

As a result of social distancing guidelines, our capacity is limited to approximately 50 people in each service.  Please fill out the form from the link below and indicate which service you would like to attend.  Seating availability is on a first come – first served basis.  If a service is full, that option will not be available.   Please sign up for one service only.

In-Person Service Schedule

  • Sunday | 10:15am-11:00am (Celebration Service)

OUR GUIDELINES FOR YOUR SAFETY

Our sanctuary has been re-set to allow for social distancing.

We’ve measured and observed the federal standards – six feet between family units.
 

During Phase 1, we will have main Celebration/KidZone services only.

There will be no nursery, childcare, Sunday School, or small groups.
 

To help prevent the spread of infection, we ask everyone to wear a face mask.

If you forget, we will do our best to provide one for you.  Infants and toddlers will not be required to wear a mask.  If you have a health condition that makes it impossible for you to wear a mask, we understand.
 

Common areas and gathering spaces of the building will be closed.

That includes the coffee bar and any place where people might congregate.
 

Before every service, the sanctuary and all high-touch surfaces will be disinfected.

All of chairs will be changed out for new ones.  We will only allow people in the room after that procedure is complete.
 

Hand sanitizing stations are set up throughout the building.

We encourage their frequent use and the washing of hands with soap and water.

If you need to sneeze or cough, please cover your mouth and nose or sneeze into your elbow.

We will continually wipe down surfaces in the restrooms and other high-touch areas.

There will also be gloves and Clorox wipes available in each of the bathrooms for your use.

 

Drinking fountains will not be available for use.

 

We will not distribute any bulletins or printed materials.

We will continue to use the digital resources that we have been using online for you to click and download.  Offering envelopes will be available at your request.

Greeters will be wearing masks and gloves.

We will not shake hands, hug, or high five.  Instead, we will air hug, wave, and smile.

 

We encourage you to continue giving online.

During services, we will not take an offering, but will provide touch-free stations that you can drop your tithes/offerings in.  

 
PARKING AND ENTERING/EXITING THE BUILDING

Parking

When you arrive, you will be directed to a parking lot.  You will need to wait in your car until approximately fifteen minutes before the start of your selected service.  When the sanctuary has been cleared and disinfected, you will be invited to enter.

 

Entering & Exiting the Building

When you approach the front entrance of the building, you will be greeted, if there are other people there waiting please take your place in line keeping your distance by the markings on the sidewalk.  When you approach the door, you will be directed by a greeter to a seating area for your family.  We will seat people from the front of the room to the back of the room.  After service, we will dismiss you from the back of the room to the front as quickly and safely as possible.
