Regathering Plan for Cumberland

Cumberland Community Church recognizes our responsibility to care for every single individual in our church family and prevent and decrease the spread of COVID-19. 

We are following a gradual, phased plan to transition back into physical worship services. Our five-phase plan is based on recommendations given by federal, state, and local health officials. It also considers the maximum capacity of our worship spaces with social distancing standards in mind. 

We are making decisions on when to move between phases based on guidelines from government authorities, and counsel from health officials from our church family and the community.
