Due to recent security concerns regarding our church facilities, new procedures are being implemented to maintain better management of building access and enhance overall safety for everyone. Starting September 2, 2025, to enter the building during office hours, you must use the ramp doors marked "Office". You will need to ring the doorbell, once you are buzzed in, go to the office and sign in. Upon leaving the building, you will need to sign out. For after-hours entry, new access codes to the ramp door will be limited to staff, ministry leaders, and custodial volunteers. Old codes will no longer work. Temporary code requests for one time/limited use can be made through the church office. Other than times the building is open for ministry activities, (Sunday mornings,/evenings), entry through the Fellowship Hall doors will not be available. Codes will only work at the ramp/office entrance. If you have any questions, please see an elder.
