BGAV – Baptist General Association of Virginia
In the midst of the current COVID-19 pandemic, churches around the world are finding new, creative ways to be the Church. Whether your church is tech-savvy or doesn’t even have an email address, there are resources to help you and your congregation navigate this unprecedented time as a family of faith.
Re-gathering Considerations as VA Enters Phase One
On Friday, May 15, 2020, the Commonwealth of Virginia entered Phase One of reopening, during which churches are allowed to meet inside at 50% capacity with strict adherence to the guidelines listed on the site linked here. Note than the Northern Virginia region is delaying Phase One–a decision announced May 12 in this press release. We will post more guidance from the governor’s office when it becomes available. Click here for information about steps to consider as your church makes decisions about re-gathering in person.
Please use the sidebar menu to explore the numerous resources we have compiled for you and your church to use as we continue to worship “together” during this time of social distancing and gradual re-gathering.
