COVID IBC Update
Apr 5, 2021
Dear IBC Family,
Now that the rollout of vaccines to fight COVID are being opened to all Ohio residents 16 years
and older, the church leadership has begun discussion of how to potentially reopen the church for
indoor worship.
As we begin to have these discussions, please be aware that we strive to first seek God’s direction
and wisdom through prayer. Also to keep the health & well-being of IBC members/congregants
first priority in decision making. And lastly to make decisions based on data and directions from
State of Ohio, Federal gov’t and CDC/health guidelines.
We envision a 2 step reopening.
Step 1 would be an indoor worship of Sunday Service only, to last roughly 60 minutes. No Sunday
School, Children’s Church, Nursery nor Youth sessions. Transportation services would be
provided.
Here are the considerations we are using as guide to implement Step 1:
-
A high percentage of Ohioans and residents in Butler, Hamilton and Montgomery counties
have been vaccinated as reported by State of Ohio, by vaccinated population count.
-
A low 7 day moving average positivity rate reported in Butler, Hamilton and Montgomery
counties.
-
Dramatically reduced numbers of new cases and deaths as reported by State/Federal
gov’t/CDC.
With these considerations we believe we are still months away from implementing Step 1 indoor
worship.
Afterwards, when we see that Step 1 is successful, we will decide when to implement a full
reopening as a Step 2.
We will strive to keep the church updated on a regular basis as we go through this process.
Thank you & God Bless,
Pastor Anthony McPeters and the Israel Baptist Church Leadership Team
