Our Goal Our goal is to return to

Our Goal • Our goal is to return to in-person ministry activities as soon as possible in a way that: • Is safe – out of love and concern for each other • Provides effective ministry – especially in the case of Worship services • Sustains our ability to have an online presence (Live-streaming)

3 Options for Returning to In Person Worship and Building Use Option 1 Return Early (Yellow) Option 2 Return Late (Green) Option 3 Return Later - Home Churches • Life Groups and other groups return to meeting in person at their discretion • Provide Sunday Services in the building, in multiple venues, in groups of 25 or less; no children’s services • Resume Sunday Services at 1/3 capacity in Worship center & Gathering • Encourage and create “Home Church” groups based on affinity and geography • Follow PA Health and CDC guidelines • Slowly scale up services as meeting restrictions loosen • Return to in-building Sunday services when kids go back to school • Follow PA Health and CDC guidelines • Slowly scale up services as meeting restrictions loosen

Option 1, Return Early: In Person Sunday Services During Yellow • Four phased approach: • Phase 1: Life Groups and other small groups return to meeting in person • Phase 2: Begin Sunday “watch party” services in multiple venues throughout the building w/less than 25 persons each – no children's ministry • Phase 3: Slowly scale up services as restrictions loosen; add children’s ministry • Phase 4: Return to new normal • Participants register online for a space • No-Touch service principles (Offering box, pre-packaged communion, etc. ) • Encourage post-service socializing outside (grass/patios) w/social distancing for as long as weather allows

Option 2, Return Late: In Person Sunday Services During Green • Four phased approach: • • Phase 1: Life Groups and other small groups return to in person meetings Phase 2: Begin Sunday services in Gathering and Worship Center at 1/3 capacity (approx. 300) Phase 3: Scale up Sunday Services in Gathering/Worship Center as restrictions allow Phase 4: Return to new normal w/Children’s services • Participants register online for a space • No-Touch service principles (Offering box, pre-packaged communion, etc. ) • Start with one service and scale up to more based on demand/capacity • Provide one-way building foot traffic flow to minimize crowding at entrances • Encourage post-service socializing outside (grass/patios) w/social distancing

Option 3, Return Later: Home Churches Until School Resumes • Four phased approach: • • Phase 1: Life Groups and other small groups return to in person meetings Phase 2: Begin robust “Home Church” campaign as we transition to “Green” based on affinity and geography Phase 3: Begin Sunday services w/children’s ministry when school starts Phase 4: : Return to new normal • Participants register online for a space • No-Touch service principles (Offering box, pre-packaged communion, etc. ) • Start with one service and scale up to more based on demand/capacity • Provide one-way building foot traffic flow to minimize crowding at entrances • Encourage post-service socializing outside (grass/patios) w/social distancing

Evaluation Criteria • Safety: Defined as ability to follow PA Health and CDC guidelines, sustain health of staff and congregation, and limit widespread exposure • Quality of experience: Defined as ability to provide a meaningful worship experience that is likely to create a desire to return • Ability/Capacity to continue to live-stream: Defined as maintaining the capacity to continue to provide an online option to watch Sunday services • Ability to accommodate families: Defined as the ease with which families with school age children can meaningfully participate

Option Comparison Safety Quality of Experience Capacity to Live Steam Ability to Accommodate Families Totals Return Early Services During “Yellow” 3 1 3 3 10 Return Late Services During “Green” 2 3 10 Return Later – Home Churches 4 4 3 4 15 Five-point scale – higher is better

Recommendation • Return to church services in the Worship Center and Gathering “later, ” • • When we can meet at 50% capacity or greater in both venues When people have higher confidence about meeting together When testing and tracing methods are better developed When we can resume children’s ministry • In the mean-time, implement a robust “Home Church” campaign • Get’s people together in their naturally occurring exposure circles • Provide opportunity for new people to join • Provide time to develop our new, permanent online presence
