We can't wait to see you!
Greetings St. Andrew’s family! We are so excited to announce that we are in phase 4 of our reopening plan. We realize that some of you have been worshiping with us in person for a while now, while others are just now feeling comfortable attending in-person services, and still some feel safest worshiping from home. Our top priority is ensuring that we are offering a safe environment for all attendees where everyone feels welcome and comfortable to worship together. Our task force remains diligent in keeping everyone's needs and safety at the forefront of our planning, and we feel that based on the recent guidance from the CDC and the Bishop, our phase 4 rollout will allow for a sense of normalcy while still keeping everyone as safe as possible.
We are so grateful for your patience and prayers during these unprecedented times. We are excited to be taking these next steps together as we continue to seek God's guidance and grace for His church.
Our mission is to lead people to know God and experience His grace through a growing relationship with Jesus Christ. Thank you for your continued support of our mission as we move forward into this post-pandemic world.
phase 4
rollout
As we rollout Phase 4, here’s what you can do to ensure the best and safest worship experience for you and other attendees.
Health Check
If you aren’t feeling well, are experiencing symptoms of COVID-19, or have been exposed/tested positive for the virus, please stay home and worship online.
Mask Check
Masks are strongly recommended indoors for everyone regardless of vaccination status. For the safety of our children and staff, masks are strongly recommended in our Kids Ministry buildings (Children's Center and Powell Hall) and in the Church Office.
Download the App
For a contactless worship experience, we encourage you to check-in and give online through our church app (Church Center).
Before You Arrive
On Campus
Safe Zones
We want to honor our attendees who may not be comfortable in close range of individuals without a mask, so we have created a Safe Zone in the back right wing of the sanctuary where masks are required.
Social Distancing
Social distancing is not required, but is encouraged.
Sanitizing
Please use the hand sanitizer stations located in the Sanctuary lobby to sanitize your hands before entering and after leaving the Sanctuary. Our volunteers and staff will continue to wipe down commonly used surfaces after each worship service.
Fellowship
Treat yourself to coffee, donuts and conversation at Holy Grounds after worship. Holy Grounds is open after the 8:15 and 9:45 a.m. services and is committed to your safety. All food will be served to you by our masked and gloved volunteers.
Our playground is also open between services for all of our children to enjoy!
After You Leave
Share and apply what you heard!
How did God speak to you in worship? How can you apply it to your life and share the good news with others? Check out our Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and Pinterest accounts for weekly encouragement, upcoming events, ways to connect and more!
Connect with a friend, co-worker, family member, or neighbor.
God intended us to be in community with one another. Share His light and His love by connecting with the people in your life. Talk about what you learned on Sunday and find ways to apply it. Look for ways to stay connected with others by joining a small group or serving in the church or community.
