FAQ
We are pleased to reopen Children’s Ministry and Community Group Bible Studies at Central Bible Church. The following questions and answers will give you a better picture of our plan moving forward:
Do children have to wear face masks?
First through 6th-grade children must wear a mask while attending ministry programs. All adult volunteers will be wearing a mask also.
Which children’s programming will be available?
Basix, SideKix and KinderKix will be available at 9:00 a.m. for children ages birth-kindergarten. All children’s programming will be available at 10:30 a.m.
Will snacks be served to children?
We will serve snacks during our 10:30 a.m. programming hour for Basix, SideKix and KinderKix.
Will kids online resources continue to be available?
Yes! Children’s Ministry lessons will still be available online for families who choose to stay home.
What will the check-in process look like?
Our kids check-in process will remain the same. Hand sanitizer will be available at each check-in computer and at the door of the classroom your child is entering. Your child will be required to use hand sanitizer before entering the classroom.
NOTE: All children's programming will have temperature checks upon entry.
What about our teenagers?
Junior High and High School students have been meeting in-person at 9 a.m. for several weeks now. Now, all teenagers are invited to join their peers for 10:30 a.m. worship, teaching time and community. Masks are required for students attending.
Will Junior High and High School continue to meet as a combined group?
Once we reach 100 students for two weeks in a row, we will return to separate meetings.
When and where will my Community Group Bible Study meet?
Sunday classes will begin at 10:30 a.m. (not 10:45), after the 9:00 worship service. Room assignments may have changed, so please contact your Shepherd or Pastor Jon Rhiddlehoover to confirm your class location (Jon@wearecentral.org).
What if I prefer not to attend a class in person right now?
Every Sunday Community Group Bible Study will have a ZOOM option for at-home participants to join the Bible Study lesson. Contact your Community Group Shepherd for Zoom details.
What safety precautions will be in place?
Consistent with other venues on our campus, masks will be required while in Community Groups. Classes will also limit the number of people sitting around tables.
What if I’m not comfortable returning to church yet?
All along, we have encouraged anyone with preexisting medical conditions or not yet ready to connect in groups of people to continue viewing our worship services and communities online.
