New 'COVID-19 Event Risk Assessment Planning Tool' from Georgia Tech

This is an interactive risk assessment tool that examines current estimates for COVID-19 spread levels in counties across the U.S. Use the map to hone in on your county to provide you and your leadership team with more information to make better risk assessments for in-person worship and other church events.

Important! New pulpit supply process and lists

New 'remote' supply preacher list added to website.

These weeks away from our sister and brother worshippers have been difficult.  We all yearn for the days of gathering together as God’s people.  As congregations begin resuming corporate worship, it is important to talk about pulpit supply.

Only 62% of households have responded to 2020 US Census--Please complete online census today!

Please share this with your family and friends and encourage them to take the census online today!

Census takers are scheduled to begin in-person interviewing of households that have not yet responded, starting July 16. Let’s help keep door-to-door visits minimal. Take the 2020 Census now and urge your community to do so too – for your neighbor and yourself.
