COVID Precautions

Please review the following requirements for attending all events at the church.

We will review and update them regularly and ask that you check your weekly newsletter for any changes.

Christ’s Church expects that anyone present for any in-person activity, indoors or outdoors, follows New York State guidelines on Covid-19 regarding travel, testing, distancing, and quarantines.

Vaccination Status

• Christ’s Church and the Christ’s Church Nursery School require all clergy and staff members to be fully vaccinated against Covid-19.

• We strongly urge every eligible person in our community to be vaccinated as soon as possible.

• Christ’s Church will require that all those who participate in the following in-person ministries be fully vaccinated:

  • Leading worship and preaching

  • Serving as an usher or lector/reader

  • Participating in Choir

  • Teaching Sunday School or Confirmation 

Masks

• Christ’s Church no longer requires the wearing of masks for indoor worship and indoor events. 

• We do however understand that some may be still be more comfortable continuing to use them, so we ask that everyone is respectful and understanding of others.

Social Distancing

• All persons are encouraged to maintain social distance from others, both inside and outside, whenever those who might not be fully vaccinated are present.

• If you aren’t fully vaccinated, or you aren’t sure if a person is fully vaccinated, please keep 6 feet distance.

Worship

• We will no longer require reservations, a waiver or assigned seats. 

NOTE: Definition of “Fully Vaccinated”

• People are fully vaccinated two weeks after receiving the second dose in a 2-dose series (Pfizer-BioNTech or Moderna), or two weeks after receiving a single-dose vaccine (Johnson & Johnson).

• Unvaccinated people refers to individuals of all ages, including children, who have not completed a vaccination series or received a single-dose vaccine. “I had COVID,” or “I tested positive for antibodies,” or “I’ve had one dose” does NOT mean you are fully vaccinated.
