Coronavirus (COVID-19) Updates | CrossPoint

With concerns surrounding the coronavirus (COVID-19), we want to update our CrossPoint community regarding where we are in the life of our church as it relates to the pandemic.

Our leadership is continuing to carefully and prayerfully monitor this situation. As information develops, this page will serve as the primary, most up-to-date place for you to get answers to commonly asked questions. Please know that we are committed to doing everything we can to create a safe environment for our church family and the surrounding communities.

Latest from CrossPoint

Updated July 3, 2020

Several weeks ago we began the re-opening phase along with most of our country, and it has been a slow but wonderful start. We will continue to offer a hybrid model of weekend services; in-person gatherings (with appropriate restrictions) and online experiences so that no matter where you are in this journey, CrossPoint can be your church!

FAQs about our response to COVID-19 and Re-Gathering:

Yes. All CrossPoint locations are open for weekend services as of June 6-7.

In the last several weeks, we have monitored guidelines and best practices for gathering in a safe way. After a significant amount of prayer and preparation, we have resumed weekend services at all of our CrossPoint locations. We are committed to creating an environment that meets government recommendations for safety. Our weekend services will look different to create a contactless environment that allows for physical distancing.

We encourage you to make the best choice for your family and situation as you consider gathering at one of our physical location or continuing to worship online. To aid you in this, our online service will continue to be available to lead you in worship through song and preaching of the Word. We encourage you to set aside time to worship through song, prayer, and engaging God’s Word – either individually, with family, or with your Grow Group. You can watch online at crosspointnow.net/watchonline or in the CrossPoint App.

What we have discovered is that the implementation of the mandate has been county by county. In other words, as CrossPoint spans across the state, we cannot give you one statement that will cover every location. Generally, we are seeing that CrossPoint communities exist in places where masks will be strongly encouraged but not mandated. However, there are some communities in which this is not the case. As you arrive at any CrossPoint location, your pastor will know what your local health department is requiring.

If you physically attend CrossPoint, you will be highly encouraged to wear a mask, and if you don’t have one, we will be glad to provide one for you. However, we won’t require masks for your attendance unless your pastor tells you that you are in a community where it is required. You can also find this out by checking the FaceBook group for your location, which is another great reason to get connected there.

CrossPoint Kids will be closed until we can provide a fun, safe, and engaging environment for our kids. Parents, we encourage you to utilize the CP Kids tab within our app for lesson content and coloring pages.

*Saturday and Sunday night services will no longer be online options.

We will still be providing two online services: Sundays at 9 AM & 11 AM If you happen to miss the weekend entirely, you can watch the message in the CrossPoint app or on our website anytime you’d like.

You can view all CrossPoint locations and service times at crosspointnow.net/locations or in the CrossPoint App.

Our staff is actively taking steps to ensure your health and safety by keeping our worship center as clean as possible. In doing this, we seek to glorify God by looking to the interests of others with love and compassion.

All staff members (except those on stage) will be wearing masks while serving.

Masks are highly encouraged for guests, however, we won’t require masks for your attendance unless your pastor tells you that you are in a community where it is required.

Hand sanitizer will be available for all guests upon entering the building.

CrossPoint Kids will be closed until we can provide a fun, safe, and engaging environment for our kids. Parents, we encourage you to utilize the CP Kids tab within our app for lesson content and coloring pages.

To keep you as safe and as healthy as possible, we will not be offering coffee, water, handouts, or other consumables.

Guests will be seated by an usher to ensure that social distancing practices are maintained.

While online giving is still encouraged, the option to place your physical offering in a box at each of the exits will be available.

After the service, everyone will be dismissed by row from back to front. Because of these practices, guests can expect to remain in their seats a bit longer than usual.

For your safety, all facilities will be thoroughly cleaned before each service.

Your giving continues to be an important act of worship as we trust Christ with every area of our lives, including our finances. You can give online at crosspointnow.net/give or in the CrossPoint App.

The coronavirus (COVID-19) is yet one more reminder that we live in a fallen world. Ultimately, none of us is immune to this reality. But God has not left us alone. Jesus came to heal the sick and set the captives free. He has conquered sin and death and is coming again with a new heaven and a new earth, where there will be no suffering, no sickness, and no death. Our God sits on His throne and because we have hope in Jesus we can have peace in even the most challenging circumstances.

Please be confident! The future is bright for those who trust Christ. There will be obstacles and difficulties, and we believe that we still have several of those ahead of us. However, with the hope of Jesus, we have the chance to reflect Him and be light in a dark world. We look forward to whatever God does next in us, with us, and through us. We are a church that remembers to Love God, Grow Up, and Serve All. And in these days, let us remember to keep up, keep track, and keep diligent.

Keep Up (Love God): Keep your focus and your words pointed up at the God of all circumstances. Share your testimony. As we interact with those in our communities, we can display our faith and trust in Christ and invite them into that.

Keep Track (Grow Up): Love our neighbors by taking this time to make friends with them. Check on them, especially if they are elderly or ill. Take them food. Show them the love of Christ. And, always stay in touch with your Grow Group.

Keep Diligent (Serve All): Make others the priority in everything! Wash your hands, practice the guidelines we’ve been given, and use these moments as a way to reach out. What a unique time we live in where we can invite our friends and family to church . . . online, and/or in our homes!
