GCC ON-SITE SUNDAY WORSHIP SERVICES
What You Need to Know

We are pleased to announce that our on-site worship services have resumed.
Our leadership has been hard at work developing precautions and guidelines to accommodate different levels of concern, based on local health department and CDC recommendations and feedback we received from you.

We are offering three service times each week.
Due to physical distancing requirements:

• Space will be limited and reservations will be required.
• Seating will be in groups of varying sizes. If you have a larger family, you may need to separate into smaller groups.
• Reservations will be accepted for one Sunday at a time, beginning on the previous Monday at 10:00 am. We will continue to take reservations until Sunday at 11:00 am, or until capacity is reached. 
• The reservation form will be available on this page while reservations are being accepted.​
  

NEW! Kids & Family Worship
Enjoy a Sunday morning experience where families with young children can worship and learn together in a style oriented to kids!

• Join us at 9:50 am in Hope Hall.
• Families will come together and stay together. 
• All activities will be done within your family group.
• Each family will sit in a “pod” of chairs. Feel free to bring a blanket for the floor if you think your kids will need to get down and wiggle!
• Everyone is welcome! (But we mostly recommend it for families with kids in the preschool-elementary age range.)
• Reservations for Kids & Family Worship will be made on the Worship Service Reservation form below.
• CLICK HERE for more details about Kids & Family Worship.

​​Below is an explanation of meeting options. All services held in the Worship Center will be live. Other locations will be live-feed, with the exception of Kids & Family Worship. Each service should last under one hour. Live-stream and on-demand options will continue to be offered at gcchapel.org for those who cannot attend or do not feel comfortable attending. ​

FAMILY-STYLE WORSHIp

• There will be no childcare or classes for children, youth, or adults. 
• Worship will be ‘family-style’, sitting together and staying together while in the building. 
• Services will include elements to make the experience engaging for kids and adults. 
• Please keep children with you at all times.  

PHYSICAL DISTANCING

• Please arrive no earlier than 10 minutes prior to the service and exit the building promptly when the service ends.
• Maintain a distance of at least six feet from others (except those in your family/group).
  
• The use of name tags and mail files will be suspended until further notice, so please help us by going directly to your meeting room when you arrive.
• Instructions for exiting the meeting rooms in an orderly fashion will be provided during the services.
• Offering containers will be placed in convenient locations. No plates will be passed.​
• No mingling in café, concourse, or other common areas.
• No coffee or other refreshments will be served.

MASKS

• Masks are recommended by the CDC, but not required. (The CDC advises not to place masks on children age 2 or younger, anyone who has trouble breathing, or anyone who is unable to remove the mask themselves without assistance.)
• We will offer a mask-only room as an option for those who prefer it. (See details above.)

ADDITIONAL SANITATION MEASURES

As a precaution we will be implementing additional sanitation measures to help protect the congregation, including:

• Leaving exterior and meeting room doors open during entry/exit times.
• Sanitizing touch points in common areas, including restrooms.
• Providing hand sanitizing stations throughout the building.

PLEASE DO NOT ATTEND IF

• You are sick.
• You are symptomatic.
• You have recently been exposed to COVID-19 or tested positive for the virus, or are at high risk for exposure.
  (You should not attend for at least 14 days from the time you were exposed OR began to experience symptoms, unless you have received a negative test result.)
• You are not comfortable attending at this time.

PARKING/TRAFFIC FLOW

• Please park in the south and west parking lots, closest to your meeting room.
• Avoid the east (lower level) parking lot. Entrances on that side of the building will be closed.
• Exit the building directly from your meeting room when possible.
