FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Make sure to check this page weekly, as our guidelines and policies will be changing in coordination with CDC updates and updated policies from the Governor’s office.
CAN I ATTEND IF I'VE BEEN SICK?
No. If you are experiencing any of the symptoms of COVID-19 (which are fever, cough, shortness of breath, fatigue, muscle or body aches, headache, loss of taste/smell or sore throat) please DO NOT come to church and risk the safety of others. Stay home, feel better and join us online!

All parking will be in the Upper and Lower parking lots. The New Property parking lot will be closed at this time.

We recommend wearing a mask, based on CDC guidelines, but we are not requiring guests to wear a mask when seated. Additionally, MPUMC is providing masks and these will be available at Guest Service table at the main entrance.
WILL THE LOWER FELLOWSHIP HALL BE OPEN?
At this time, the Fellowship Hall and Conference Room will be closed to guests in an effort to limit the amount of people in enclosed spaces, based on social distancing guidelines. Additionally, guest service volunteers will be meeting you in the parking lot to answer your questions and help you into the building.
