Covid-19 Protocols

Following the recommended precautions of our city’s leadership and health professionals, we are continuing to practice social distancing. We want to be a part of the solution to suppress exposure to the highly contagious disease. The following outlines changes to our worship, meeting and event schedules:

We welcome members and guests to worship with us safely. We continue to monitor and adjust our offerings, exercising the utmost of caution during the COVID-19 pandemic, so we will continue to practice health and safety measures.
- We’ll also ask those who have been exposed to COVID or are experiencing ANY SYMPTOMS to please worship with us virtually.
- We will be sanitizing spaces in between services. So, we will only have our 8 or 11:30 am services in-person. 10 a.m. will remain virtual.

Our youth meet in person at 11:30 a.m. on 1st – 4th Sundays. Kingdom Kidz and Rhythm teens meet in their respective worship spaces. The nursery is now open.

We will only have evening Bible Study on Wednesdays – TO BE VIEWED VIA FACEBOOK AND YOUTUBE ONLY – until further notice. We will NOT host members and guests on campus on Wednesday.

PLEASE CONTINUE TO REGULARLY SUPPORT SMBC FINANCIALLY through your consistent giving of tithes and offerings through use of your giving envelopes, the Saint Mark app, and the PushPay app, both of which can be downloaded from the app store of your digital device. The church offices will be open during regular business hours for those who want to bring their contributions and leave them in the giving boxes in the Atrium.
