A Message Regarding Our COVID-19 Protocols (March 31, 2023)

Greetings First Baptist Church family,

The Trustee Ministry appreciates your diligence and patience over the last three years.

We’ve continually reviewed Covid numbers in our county and neighboring counties, along with local, state, and national Covid guidelines to ensure we limited the risk of Covid exposure to our members.

Beginning on Sunday, April 3, we are making the following changes to our Covid guidelines:

Return of Bibles and hymnals to the church pews. Ushers will take up the hymnals and bibles for the next few months as we will continue to spray.
Wearing a mask is optional.
Continue to provide hand sanitizer at entrances for your convenience.

Again, we appreciate your patience as we navigate during this time. We will continue to monitor Covid numbers.

Yours in Christ,
The Trustee Ministry
