Dear BRIDGE family
We are pleased to say that we are reopening our church campus one step at a time. We are prayerfully working towards returning to the campus in stages that are the safest possible. We all have spiritual, emotional, and social needs, and being together in Biblical community is an important part of each of our lives.
Safety: The health and safety of our Bridge family and surrounding communities is a big priority. We have been working on our facilities to make sure we comply with city, county, and state guidelines. As part of our commitment to safety, we have developed enhanced cleaning and safety protocols. At the same time, we are reworking our seating and room configurations to comply with the social distance and current capacity guidelines.
Stages: We will be opening in stages. In the first stage, we will be focusing on our Weekend Worship Services and LIFE Group ministries. Advance reservations are required.
- Worship Center seating: Every Sunday, we will have a maximum limit of 100 people (online registration required) in the Worship Center. Reserve all seats for your household below. Once we reach the 100-seat threshold, a waitlist is available. If cancellations come in, we will try to clear seats but if you aren’t cleared, we will automatically confirm the following Sunday for you. Book your seat by 6:00 am Sunday mornings.
Other Ministries: At this time, there will be no nursery, children’s ministry, youth ministry, or ABC classes on Sunday mornings. LIFE Groups that want to, can resume meeting in-person following the current CDC guidelines (masks, social distancing, etc.). Others can continue with Zoom meetings. We will evaluate each week and add more in-person ministries when we can do so safely and according to local guidelines.
What won’t change: We will still be offering English & Spanish online services at our normal service times. We will be encouraging people to assess their comfort and risk level and gather together in LIFE Groups in safe settings for group livestream watch parties and discussion of the sermons. Our staff will be available to pray and assist you with your needs. For those in vulnerable categories, we encourage you to continue joining us online. As we work through our staged reopening, we will provide on-campus options that take into account your safety and physical needs.
Thank you for your prayers, patience, and understanding as we work through this challenging season. We have been praying for you and joyfully look forward to being together again soon!
Sincerely,
Pastor Paul Brown
