Pastor Steve’s Confinement Life
Series Continues – 5/31/2020 – Part Six
This message is part six in the Confinement Life Series. Pastor Steve examines the life of Joseph in the Old Testament.
4 Phase Re-Opening Strategy
Continued Ministry: The good news is, we are going to continue Eagle Ridge Church Online. Our online campus includes Facebook Live services on Sunday mornings (PDT) at 8:30, 10, & 11:30 AM. Service posted on our Website home page and under the messages page every Sunday morning by 8:00 AM, the Eagle Ridge Church App, and YouTube.
Our Online campus is an excellent option for those who are ill, have compromised health issues, aren’t ready to gather, don’t live in the area, and desire to be part of the family or work on Sundays.
Eagle Ridge Church Online services reached families in over 30 states and 20 different countries in the last three months. The impact of our online presence is phenomenal, with many making first-time decisions for Christ and re-dedications.
Phase #1
Sunday, May 31st, at 10:00 AM, will be a service for staff, volunteer leaders, and their families (not open for the general public). May 31st service is preparation/practice for the following week as we prepare to open up for our members and guest. Families will sit together (No nursery or children’s ministry).
Phase # 2
On Sunday, June 7th, we will begin again, gathering at 10:00 AM with one service (First come first seated). Social distancing protocols will be in place, including hand sanitizing stations, no-touch thermometers used, no handshaking, and face masks suggested (bring your own face mask). Sanctuary seating spaced out for proper distancing, and additional outdoor seating available in the courtyard for those who prefer to be outside. There will be no children’s ministry this first Sunday back (children can sit with you).
Phase # 3
Adding “Drive-In Church.” On Sunday, June 21st. Our FM Broadcast Transmitter installed and ready to go. You will be able to tune-in on the FM dial to hear our service on Sunday morning right from your vehicle. An option allowing you to arrive on campus yet stay in your car.
Phase # 4
Adding on-campus ministries—Celebrate Recovery, Ignite Youth, MOP’s, and Soar Children’s Ministry. NEST Groups (Home Bible Studies) can begin to meet in homes while some continue to Zoom. During Phase #4, we will start to add additional seating to the sanctuary and providing our popular continental breakfast in the courtyard.
Every week we will evaluate attendance needs and logistics, adding additional services as needed.
