Church Update / 11.13.20

This week, our Governor has given Nebraskans a fresh set of directed health measures to follow in order to help prevent further spread of COVID-19 in our area. A few of these health measures will affect ministries and activities that were scheduled here at the church.

Here’s an overview of how this affects ministries at CCC, and what you can expect. Click the button below for the full details.

• Mask-wearing is required for all individuals ages 5 and older. The face covering must be over the mouth and nose while indoors unless the individual maintains at least six feet of separation at all times from anyone who is not their household member.

• In-Person Worship Experiences are unrestricted in gathering size but practically limited by social distancing guidelines of six feet. Gatherings (Journey/Midsized Groups, classes, and ministry meetings) are limited in size to 25% of indoor and 100% of outdoor rated occupancy.

• Our two on-site services will be held at 9 and 10:45 AM in the Worship Center with every other row blocked. Individual/family units will be required to leave two (2) seats between other groups. Service capacity is 500. We will continue to deliver the online service live at 9 and 10:45 AM and stream a recorded service at 4 PM. Overflow will go to the Chapel (max 75).

• College and Student Ministries are open as well as Kids Ministry. Services are unrestricted in gathering size but practically limited by social distancing guidelines of six feet.

• Sick persons must stay home, and vulnerable (seniors and those with underlying medical conditions) persons are encouraged to stay home.

• For Sunday gatherings, entry to CCC will be from multiple doors to spread out the concentration of people entering and exiting the main building. Hand sanitizer and face masks will be provided.

• Saturday will remain closed to ministry gatherings (classes/groups) except for weddings.

• Most large group ministries are canceled.

• Heightened sanitation practices will continue, especially before and between services, with sanitation procedures for all seating and service venues.

• Atrium services will be restricted to the Information Desk.

• A limited coffee service will be provided.

• Pre-packaged communion will be offered.

• Benevolence/on-call ministry and Oil Change Ministry are open.
