Sunday Worship

Both 9:20am and 11:20am worship services are open - live onsite (and online)

1) You can either join us onsite at our 9:20/11:20am service or online at 9:20/11:20am (Recorded). Please check our website and our church-wide email up to the last minute as there may be changes in guidelines and decisions.

2) If you are joining us onsite, you will have to pre-register. You will not be allowed to enter the building unless you pre-register.

*** Registration deadline is now Saturday 6:00pm.

Evening service spots are also limited to 94 people, so please register. (While the service area will be sprayed and precautions will be taken, please bring your own bug repellant.)

We can accomodate up to 94 people, but 20 of the spaces will already be taken up by staff and volunteers. Gradually, we will open the service to more and more people as we have more trained volunteers.

During the next few months, we will not be allowing children younger than 9th grade to attend. Parents bringing younger children will be asked to return home. There is no Children's Ministry onsite in the foreseeable future. And, the SMC will be open for students in High School.

3) Prepare to bring your mask. Members will be required to wear their mask while in the building.

4) Prepare to arrive 15-20 minutes early for temperature screening. To help us get accurate readings with our laser thermometer, please avoid drinking hot or cold drinks one hour before you are screened.

5) Park every other space. You will enter through the gym doors (2 doors on the left) where we will perform temperature checks and screening.

6) Follow instructions regarding our uni-directional traffic flow in the church, our 6 ft social distancing, and our assigned seating in the sanctuary. Hand sanitizers are available (especially as you enter our building and as you leave). Restroom use will be limited for emergency use only.

7) There will be limited fellowship in the gym after the service. Tables will be set up with 4 chairs per table. We encourage you to fellowship, but keep your masks on and continue to practice physical distancing.

Our building will be professionally cleaned and disinfected before and after our service.

We will be posting more information in the upcoming days. If you have any questions, please contact any of our staff at odpcec@gmail.com.

Everyday: Just Read It

As we set apart 2020 as the year of the Gospel, we want to learn the Gospel by reading the story of the Gospel as revealed by God through the Bible. We will read the Bible together starting on January 1/1 with Genesis 1:1 and will read 3-5 chapters per day. Please click this link to learn how.
