The pastors have made the decision to reopen our weekend worship services to the public on the weekend of June 20 & 21! We will meet at our regular times (6:00 p.m. on Saturday, 9:30 and 11:15 a.m. on Sunday). There is no pressure to attend — we totally understand if you can’t. But, we’d love to have you join us if you feel ready and are comfortable.
In light of this reopening, we’d like to share some of the changes you can expect when you arrive back in our building. First, our heart is to honor Jesus and to keep our flock safe by heeding some basic social distancing guidelines from our state, federal and medical leaders. Keeping that in mind, here are just a few of the restrictions that we will implement as we reopen. (Note: These Guidelines are only temporary until we are confident that we can move ahead safely.)
Guidelines for The Rock’s Reopening:
- We will encourage “no contact” greetings (waves, air high fives and smiles).
- All Kid’s Rock programs will be discontinued.
- The use of masks and hand sanitizer will be encouraged for everyone – including kids (we will provide both if needed).
- We will need to limit the total number of people in our building at one time — come early to get a seat.
- We will not be serving coffee or tea (let’s practice BYOC – “Bring Your Own Coffee”).
- The seats in the Sanctuary will be arranged so that a 6-foot distance is maintained between each household group.
- We will discourage congregating in the Lobby or other meeting areas (feel free to meet outside if it’s nice).
- Signage will be posted to remind individuals to maintain social distancing.
- We will encourage high-risk individuals to NOT come to the building, but continue to watch our livestream.
- The service time will be shortened to one-hour, which will allow 45-minutes in between services to clean and disinfect.
- We will continue to provide livestream services.

Looking forward to seeing you soon!
