Drive-In Church | Sunday, May 10th | 11 AM
We are excited to announce the Drive In Worship Service for Mother’s Day! We can’t wait to see our church family once again in person! This is the preview to PHASE 1 reopening that will begin Sunday, May 17. We hope to see everyone here as if it is a normal Sunday.
GUIDELINES: In order for us to meet this way, we need everyone’s cooperation in the following areas:
1) When you arrive, you may park in any of the spaces that do not have an orange or yellow cone. Each car must be 6 feet apart.
2) You must remain in your vehicle for the duration of the service. The service will begin promptly at 11 AM and will conclude by 12 PM.
3) Please be parked before 11 AM to be ready for the service to begin.
4) You may roll down your windows to fellowship with the cars around you.
5) It is recommended that immediate family or members of the same household occupy the same vehicle. If you have been with family members regularly from another household, you may ride together to save parking space if you are comfortable.
6) If you have an emergency and must exit your vehicle, you need to maintain social distancing from those coordinating the service.
7) There will be only one bathroom available for emergencies only. It is the ladies’ restroom located in the foyer of the auditorium which can be accessed by the front door only. Only one person can be inside at a time (unless it is a small child accompanied by their parent), but please make all effort to avoid having to use the facility.
8) There will be an offering station inside the mailbox if you wish to drop off your tithe/offering. Otherwise, online and mailed giving is still available.
9) To adhere to noise ordinances, microphone levels may not be as loud as usual. If you have trouble hearing, plan to come early for a closer spot. The platform will be located at the right front corner of the auditorium, looking from the road.
10) In order to prevent congestion, cars will be dismissed orderly.
SOME FUN WAYS TO PARTICIPATE DURING THE SERVICE:
As restrictions are slowly lifted, we are doing our best to submit to government when possible, while our ultimate priority is pleasing the Lord. He wants us to be in church, so we are thrilled to offer this option of gathering together in this temporary format. Help us by adhering to these simple instructions and we’ll see you next Sunday!

COVID-19 Update
We have prayerfully decided not to meet on campus for Sunday worship services or Wednesday Bible study until further notice. We will have a Facebook Live worship service at 11 AM Sunday morning and 7 PM Wednesday Bible study available to view as well each week. Our Crossroads team will be posting live videos earlier on Sundays and Wednesdays to encourage our teenagers in the Word of God. Finally, on Friday mornings we will be hosting a premiere on our YouTube channel for our CAUSE Connection (ages 3 years old-5th grade).
I would like to encourage all of our Charity family to please be faithful to continue to give your tithes and offerings to the church during this difficult time. The mission and the ministry of Charity Baptist still goes on, maybe even more so during these times. There are three ways you can give:
Right now, all regularly scheduled ministry and programming events will be suspended till the end of April. Only Sunday morning worship and Wednesday Bible study will be available online.
Updated calendar changes thus far:
Discipleship training will resume once we have clearance to start meeting regularly again.
We will closely monitor the progression of Corona virus and will be evaluating plans for future Sunday worship schedules and will keep you posted. For more updates or further information in the coming days, please visit our Facebook page and our church website.
