FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH COVID-19 PROTOCOL UPDATE:
From the outset of COVID-19, our Ministry Staff and Deacons have met monthly to discuss and review our congregational response plan and protocols toward addressing COVID-19 at First Baptist. Since March 15th of 2020 our response has been measured and consistent based upon information made available from national, state, and local resources. Our ultimate goal has been the ongoing safety of our members and guests that attend First Baptist Church.
This past Sunday, April 25th, 2021 after months of discussion, our Ministry Staff and Deacon body met for their scheduled April meeting to consider the relaxing of existing COVID-19 protocols in light of a drastic reduction of case numbers in Ware County, hospitalizations, mortality rate, and the multiple opportunities within the community to receive COVID-19 vaccinations. After much discussion and prayer our Deacon body unanimously approved, with the support of Ministry Staff, the following reductions in our existing COVID-19 protocols effective immediately:
We will continue to refrain from passing offering plates and communion trays for the next 30 days at which time both will be reviewed at the next Deacon’s meeting to be held on May 23rd.
We will continue to monitor existing updates regarding COVID-19 in Ware County and act accordingly with all information made available in the future.
The Ministry Staff and Deacons of First Baptist Church feel that previous responses have been appropriate with the best interests of our congregation and that it is now time for the church to move forward as each feels comfortable and with respect toward all.

After much discussion and prayer our Deacon body unanimously approved, with the support of Ministry Staff, the following reductions in our existing COVID-19 protocols effective immediately:
- Masks will no longer be considered mandatory for all First Baptist Church services and ministry activities effective immediately. Any Member or Guest who chooses to wear one out of personal concern or comfort will be encouraged to continue to do so based upon their own freedom of conscience with mutual respect given, and received, by all.
- Existing rope and tape barriers within our Sanctuary to aid in social distancing will be removed. Members and Guests are still encouraged to practice social distancing out of respect for one another and sit accordingly.
- Our check-in/sign-in stations will no longer continue and temperature checks at our doors will not be required. PLEASE NOTE: Masks will continue to be available at each entrance along with existing hand sanitation stations at entrances and throughout the building; continued use is encouraged.
We will continue to refrain from passing offering plates and communion trays for the next 30 days at which time both will be reviewed at the next Deacon’s meeting to be held on May 23rd.
