Our Response to COVID-19
UPDATE: Due to the mass availability of the COVID-19 vaccine, we feel it is no longer necessary to continue with enforced restrictions during our services and will resume operations of all ministries at full capacity. As we continue to exercise a certain level of caution concerning the COVID-19 virus, we encourage attendees to consult their own level of comfort regarding personal contact and protective wear (masks, gloves, etc.) and act accordingly. Hand sanitation stations will be at the building entrances, in the sanctuary, nursery, and various other public places in the building.
We love all of our members, guests, and staff and want to be considerate of their right to health and safety. Although we are not requiring anyone to be vaccinated before attending services, we still ask that if you are exhibiting any of the known COVID-19 symptoms, please quarantine, get tested for the virus, and do not return to the building (for any reason) until you have received a negative result. If you do test positive for COVID-19, follow the above instructions and call our office at 316-529-0600 to let us know so we can be praying for you during your time of illness.
To all who have underlying medical problems that would prevent church attendance and to all who are still uncomfortable attending services at the building, we will continue to broadcast our live and archived services on YouTube and Facebook.
May the blessings of the Lord be upon you all!

In response to the current restrictions to limit the spread of the COVID-19 virus, WE WILL NOT BE CANCELLING SERVICE, but we will be holding ONLINE SERVICES ONLY through April 1, 2020. At that time, we will re-evaluate the circumstances and make a decision on our next steps. You can LIVE STREAM OUR ONLINE SERVICES on our website and through Facebook Live Sunday morning at 10AM and Wednesday evening at 7PM. (There will be no Sunday evening service) In addition to the service change, only essential church personnel will be given access to the building, so please pray and worship at home.

It is also important not to incite panic, but to use wisdom and follow the directions of the President of the United States, the CDC, and state and local health departments. A few simple things we all can do are listed below:
Remember, we want to be part of the solution, not the problem! We are strong and resilient and the Lord our God is with us!
