OUR REGATHERING PLAN

There are many unique challenges we face as a church that meets in a rented school facility, that have led us to conclude it will be necessary for us move toward a full-scale regathering in "stages".  
 

"We have the right to do anything, but not everything is beneficial."   1 Corinthians 10:23

STAGE 1:  Here is what we can begin to do this Sunday: Invite family and friends to your living room or backyard on Sunday morning to enjoy our services together online. If you're like us, you have desperately missed being together with other people from the church in person, seeing their faces, hearing their voice, and simply enjoying their company.  Prayerfully consider who you might invite over this Sunday to do church in your own home, aided by our online music, worship, message, and ministry. 

STAGE 2:  We are currently in discussions with the school district to allow us to resume live-streaming our services from La Cumbre Jr High on Sunday mornings. Presently, our church services are pre-recorded in sections throughout the week and are edited together to present online on Sunday morning.  We hope to soon begin presenting our church services live on-location every Sunday morning at 10:00 am. We anticipate this becoming a reality within a couple weeks. 

STAGE 3:  As the restrictions and conditions regulating church gatherings continue to loosen, we will encourage those who are comfortable to join us on Sunday mornings at La Cumbre Jr High as we live-stream our services. Initially, there will be no hospitality and no programs for kids, but child-care may be an option. Volunteer ministries will ensure that state and local health guidelines are being carefully observed, including any necessary screening of attendees, proper social distancing, and the sanitization of surfaces.  

STAGE 4:  The final phase - we resume meeting as we have been accustomed to, complete with hospitality, kids programs, live worship and music, and all of our other fantastic ministries, with perhaps one or two new ones to boot. And as mentioned previously, this season will be kicked off with a "Regathering Sunday."  It is difficult for us to project when this might take place, but our best guess is that it will likely be in the fall.  As you know, things can change within a week, so we will continue to work toward and pray for an earlier date. However, we are prepared to wait as long as necessary. 

We want to thank you for your patience and understanding in this process.  If you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to contact one of our leadership team members.
