UPDATED NDCBF COVID-19 PROTOCOLS

Update - March 3, 2022

Effective Sunday, March 6, 2022,  masks will be optional for the children and youth ministry areas on Wednesdays and Sundays. The Elder Board has cancelled the Covid-19 mask policy that required masks to be worn in the Youth & Children’s Ministry Areas on Wednesdays and Sundays.

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

The CDC has released a new measure for determining Covid-19 community levels. According to these new metrics that now take into account hospitalizations and hospital capacity in addition to infection numbers, nearly 70% of the United States population resides in areas where masks are no longer required. In Collin County, Texas, our community level is Medium. If you are at high risk for severe illness, talk to your healthcare provider about whether you need to wear a mask and take other precautions. People may choose to mask at any time. People with symptoms, a positive test, or exposure to someone with COVID-19 should wear a mask.

UPDATE - October 3, 2021

Beginning on Sunday, October 3, 2021, The Elder Board has revised our Covid-19 mask policy to require that masks be worn in the Youth & Children’s Ministry Areas on Wednesdays and Sundays.  

In accordance with the CDC, fully vaccinated people are no longer required to wear a mask during worship at NDCBF. Masks are highly encouraged for those who are fully vaccinated, and we ask that everyone remain respectful of those who choose to continue mask wearing. For everyone’s safety, we highly encourage that non-vaccinated individuals continue wearing masks.

Service pre-registration will no longer be required and social distancing will still be observed as space allows. Our goal is to continue to provide a safe worship environment as we navigate changing conditions based on recommendations from the CDC.
