The Latest: CRBC's COVID-19 Reopening Plan
|
We are excited to be able to meet again in worship, but because of the corona virus we will have to reopen carefully. CRBC church leadership has devised a plan for the reopening of CRBC. Below you will find the details of the reopening strategy. The state and local governments have set guidelines for us to be able to meet again. We will need to follow these guidelines for us to reopen.

Target Reopening Date: Sunday, June 7th
This is our target date, but if a new wave of infections happen and our government prolongs phase one or puts back into place a stay-at-home order then we will have to move back our reopening date.

How CRBC Will Reopen
When we reopen, we will do it in phases. We are going to start small and then slowly move to fully open. As the government eases social distancing guidelines then we will ease on our restrictions also. During this time we still ask if you are not feeling well to please stay at home and worship with us online. If you are “at-risk” and feel nervous to go into large group gatherings at this time, then we would encourage you to continue to worship with us online.

During This Time
CityWide, our cleaning company, will do a touch point extra cleaning for our facility. During our service we will do real time cleaning on touched areas like elevators, rails, door handles, etc…with disinfectant wipes and spray.
If a person that has been inside the church building in the past 14 days is diagnosed with COVID-19, the membership will be notified and the entire church will quarantine (shut down) for 14 days as required by the local governments. During that time, we will hold online worship services only. After 14-days, CRBC will reopen.
Anyone who attends worship at CRBC that has been in contact with someone who has been diagnosed with COVID-19 must notify church leadership as soon as they are informed. At that time, it will be determined if the church needs to trace their contacts. Then the church will make a determination as to the next steps.
