The loss of a loved one is heartbreaking and we at First Baptist are doing all that we can so those who attend the funeral do not get sick! As we are all aware, we are all trying to prevent the spread of Covid19, a highly contagious and potentially deadly virus. Therefore, we continue to monitor and are following CDC and local government guidelines.
The following special guidelines have been developed in response to CDC guidelines and relevant legislation for responding to the Covid Pandemic The maximum number of people allowed to attend funeral services: including Pastor and church staff, should be 150 (140 families/friends and 10 church staff). The overflow capacity in the Fellowship Hall is 50 people. Who should not be attending: People who have Covid19 or who are in isolation; people who don’t feel well or have a fever/temperature; people who are in a high risk group (over 50; health problems). These are some precautions that we are taking so please share with family members who will be attending funeral services:
● Please always try to maintain social distance.
● Enter and exit the church building through the main entrance only.

● ALL attendees must sanitize their hands once they enter the building
