Onsite Guidelines When arriving, we need everyone to have an attitude of prayer, cooperation, and teamwork by closely following these onsite guidelines. Not abiding by these guidelines could affect the health and safety of others and delay coming back together.

SOCIAL DISTANCE: At all times while on church property, we ask that you practice social distancing (6 feet of space between you and others outside of your household or family).

CLEAN HANDS: Please wash your hands before and after services and use the hand sanitizing stations. And don’t forget … cover coughs, sneezes, and don’t touch your face.

MASKS: MASKS OR FACIAL COVERINGS ARE REQUIRED TO BE WORN AT ALL TIMES WHILE ATTENDING ONSITE SERVICES AND CLASSES/ SMALL GROUPS and will be provided free if you do not have your own. For those who cannot or do not wear a mask, an area is provided in the lower level and requires you to enter and exit through the lower level.

LOBBY: Will not be used as a place to mingle and fellowship.

RESTROOMS are available and cleaned before/ after each service. Water fountains and mints will be unavailable.

SEATING: Seating will be social distanced and you may not get your “regular seat”. Once you are seated please remain in your seat for the entire service if possible. Ushers will seat you before the service and escort you out after the service.

OVERFLOW SEATING will be available in the Lower Level and in the Youth Center with a live video stream at both locations. Families with small children are welcome to use these areas.

OFFERING: We encourage online giving. There will be no offering plate passed during the service. If you have a tithe, place it in the offering receptacles as you enter/exit the sanctuary or mail checks to VFFWB, Attention: Finance Team, 1503 Riverview Drive, Elizabethton, TN
