Church relaunch FAQs
With the easing of restrictions this week we’re re-opening the ministry centre for public gatherings and everyone is welcome!
Resuming our gatherings will be familiar but different. With the government requirements of social distancing and a ban on congregational singing it will feel a bit strange. But it will be so good to be together face to face again. For the next three Sundays we’ll have:
9am church at the ministry centre with Kids Church
9am livestream
5pm church at the ministry centre
FAQs
Will the livestream continue?
Yes! For now, the 9am livestream will continue as usual but there will not be any chat rooms after.
How many services will be run on Sunday and at what times?
For the next few weeks we’ll have two gatherings, 9am and 5pm.
How many people are allowed to attend?
Within the new regulations, our main hall has capacity for 140 people. In addition to this, we have overflow capacity for over 100 more and the children will be in their Kids Church rooms.
What about kids?
Kids will go straight to their Kids Church groups after they’ve been checked in:
- Minimites and Dynamites (K-year 3) will be combining in Room 3
- Extremities (years 4-6) will be in the upper hall
What about Teen Church?
There will be no Teen Church for the holidays (5, 12 & 19 July).
