Florida Baptist Convention Resources
Conversation Guide: Reopening Your Church
As guidelines are expanded for churches to regather, it is important to recognize that ministry will not be conducted in the same manner as before.
Additionally, it is likely that just as “safer-at-home” orders were implemented in stages, a return to public gatherings will also be implemented in similar stages. It would be expected that government guidelines may be different from one county to the next.
It is critical that churches begin preparing now for the return of on-campus activities. This guide is designed to help you through various points of consideration as your church implements new methods, policies and procedures. It specifically focuses on two core areas, the practical and the personal.
