Welcome Back!

A few ways we can be safe and together:

Our staff has been working to create a safe and secure environment for all who are able to join us in person at one of our services. If you plan on coming to church in the weeks ahead, here are a few things to expect during your experience.

1. We ask that you please register for services so that we can plan seating with social distancing in mind. Register for Sunday services HERE beginning Sunday, February 28th @ 6 PM.
2. Ushers will seat you in every other row in the sanctuary and skip a seat in between families and groups who choose to sit together. We ask that all families and groups please come in together to be seated.
3. Kidz ministry classrooms will only be open during our 11 AM service at this time, but kids are welcome in the sanctuary if you prefer to attend the 9 AM service. If your child is active or may need your attention, we ask that you sit near the back of the sanctuary.
4. Masks are required indoors by the state of North Carolina. We ask that you bring your own mask, but if you happen to forget one, a few masks will be available at Guest Services if needed.
5. Social distancing guidelines are in place and we are asking everyone to wave and smile instead of hugs and handshakes for now.

Please Note: We will be doing everything we can to practice safe social distancing.

Starting in March, we will have Kidz Ministry classrooms open during our 11 AM service only. Here are a few things to expect as our classrooms reopen.

• Please bring a mask each week for children ages 6 and up, as they will wear masks when they are inside the classroom. (Children ages 4-5 may wear masks if a parent prefers them to and brings one for them to wear.)
• Touch-free temperature checks for children prior to the start of each service.
• Volunteers and staff will be temperature checked and wearing masks unless they are at the front of the class teaching.
• We will be recommending limited contact throughout all our activities.
• All toys are sanitized, and all surfaces will be cleaned before and after services.
• We ask that one parent please come and pick your children up promptly after service.

How we are keeping you safe:

We love you. We trust you. Our new guidelines and procedures are in place so you and your family can trust that we are doing everything we can to ensure your church experience is as safe as possible. We look forward to seeing you soon.

• If you have experienced Covid like symptoms in the past 48 hours or are considered high risk, please continue to watch our services via livestream from home.
• Clear directions will be posted for the flow of traffic to and from our Sanctuary and restrooms. All other areas of the building will be closed at this time. Please follow all the posted directions so each of us can stay safe and appropriately distanced before and after each service.
• Volunteers and staff will be wearing masks.
• We are asking that you and your family wear a mask as well. Masks are required indoors by the state of North Carolina. Please bring your own, but if you happen to forget, a few are available at Guest Services, if needed.
• Hand sanitizing stations are available in our foyer.
• Social distancing guidelines are in place and we are asking everyone to wave and smile instead of hugs and handshakes for now.
• Sit with the people from your household or group you choose to sit with, but ushers will leave one seat between your family or group and others.

Please Note: We will be doing everything we can to practice safe social distancing.

Do I need to reserve seats?

Yes, we do ask that you help us plan by registering to attend services HERE. Pastor asks that everyone please be in your seat 10 minutes before service so that we can prepare for our live stream.

What are your service times?

For now, we will be returning to our 9:00 & 11:00 AM services. Our Tuesday night service will remain online for the time being.

How early should I arrive?

Doors open about 30 minutes before each service.

What about Children’s and Youth Ministry?

Can I bring my children with me to church?

We love our WLCC Kidz! If you feel your child is old enough to sit through an in-person service with you, we would love to see them. If your child is active or may need your attention, we ask that you sit near the back of the sanctuary.

Will masks and hand sanitizers be available?

Yes! There are hand sanitizing stations in the foyer. Also, masks are required indoors by the state of North Carolina. We ask that you bring your own mask, but if you happen to forget one, a few masks will be available at Guest Services if needed.

Are we allowed to give hugs?

After much consideration, we have decided to have “no-touch services” for now to keep everyone as safe as possible. For now, please give a wave or a smile instead of a hug or a handshake.

How and when are you cleaning your facility?

The Sanctuary is shut down and thoroughly sanitized before and after each service. The facility, including meeting spaces, restrooms, and public areas are all being cleaned and sanitized regularly.

When should I stay home?

• If you’ve had COVID symptoms in the last 48 hours (symptoms include, but are not limited to a cough, sore throat, shortness of breath, or a fever over 100.)
• If you have been in contact with someone who had COVID in the past 14 days.
• If you’re considered high-risk for severe illness based on CDC guidelines.
• If you are a Senior over 65 and have any risk at all. We love you and ask you to please continue to join us for our online services at this time.
• If you’ve been out of state to a hotspot, then we ask you to stay at home for 7 days before you return to church.

Can I still watch online?

Absolutely! Services are still streamed to our live platform (live.wlcconline.com), YouTube (WLCC Online), and Facebook (Without Limits Christian Center).

Can I receive communion?

We will be having single-serve pre-packaged communion elements at some of our services.
