According to CDC regulations we are cleared to re-open the church building as long as we follow some guidelines.  We plan on opening up the church on Oct. 4th, 2020 for Morning Worship Service.  Below is the plan for re-opening and we ask all that are planning to attend church on Oct.4th to read before you arrive.  Doors will open starting at 10:15am with Worship Service starting at 11:00am.  You still will be able to enjoy the service via our Facebook Page and our website.
