A Guide to Re-Opening
A Guide to Re-Opening Updated document from Church Fuel.
New research from Barna showed that many practicing Christians aren’t participating much online.
Their data revealed that one in three Christians are still and only attending their pre-COVID church, with 53% streaming their regular church online and 34% engaging in “digital church hopping” by streaming other church services. And then there’s the 32% who are doing neither.
Numbers like these might make you want to push the conversation about reopening the church building forward faster, but while you weigh your options, we wanted to lend some practical help.
A Guide to Re-Opening Updated document from Church Fuel.
This guide helps you recognize the questions you should ask about when to reopen, best practices to consider when it’s time to answer how your church will reopen, and ideas to explore for communicating to your congregation, implementing safety and sanitation measures, and more.
As the pandemic progresses, best practices change and new needs have emerged.
Here are a few sections Church Fuel updated to the guide we shared in May and June:
- Developing newly-needed staff and volunteer roles
- Clear and creative reopening communication
- Navigating different opinions about reopening
- New policies and procedures for reopening
- Ideas for maintaining safe building capacity
