For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but one of power, love, and sound judgment.

Groups and Gatherings
- Large groups will NOT meet until further notice. This includes: ManSchool, Youth, Celebrate Recovery and Sunday services.
- There will be no gatherings on Christ Community Church's campus until further notice.
- We are also asking that Community, study and fellowship groups not to meet publicly during this time and to find creative ways to communicate that will reduce the amount of face-to-face interactions. Please be in contact with your leader for any updates.
There are several factors involved:
First and foremost is the care and compassion for our members, their families, and our community. The fact that the Coronavirus (for which there is no vaccine currently) is twice as contagious as the common flu and that it lasts far longer in the air and on surfaces are factors that are concerning.
Additional Information:
Join us in fervent and earnest prayer for those who have been affected to include being infected, quarantined, or restricted by potential exposure. Let us pray for families and communities that have experienced the loss of loved ones. Let us pray for the global efforts being engaged to combat the spread of the virus.
We have taken extra precautions in the last few days to ensure our facility remains a clean and safe place to visit and worship by installing new hand sanitizing dispensers around the premise and thoroughly disinfecting our building.
We extend the following words of guidance:
- Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds especially after you have been in a public place, or after blowing your nose, coughing, or sneezing.
- Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands.
- Cover your mouth and nose with a tissue when you cough or sneeze or use the inside of your elbow.
- During this season, be wise about physical contact. Replace our usual hugs and handshakes with fist or elbow bumps, simple smiles, and words of welcome.
- Use phone calls and social media to check in on one another, pray for one another, and meet one another's needs as they arise.
- Offer an attitude of peace to all. Let the peace of Christ rule in our hearts, refusing to live by neither hysteria nor cynicism.
Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. (Philippians 4:6-7)
