Yes, you may bring your child/ren. At this time, we are offering Children’s Ministry services, so you may register your children for children’s ministry or keep them with you when you attend service. We ask that families bringing children understand that all safety measures will apply to children as well. This includes social distancing, refraining from physical contact with other attendees, and wearing a face mask at all times (Children age 2 and younger are not required to wear a mask).
Yes! We are looking forward to worshiping through music together!
We are looking forward to seeing each other face to face (even while masked!), and we see our in-person interactions as invaluable. When interacting with others before, during, and after the service, please keep your masks on and maintain a safe distance from other households. We ask that attendees not linger after service so we can prepare the worship area and parking lot for the subsequent service.
Lighthouse has a limited supply of face masks available for attendees who do not have one.
We will check all staff, volunteers, and attendees as they are joining us for the service. CDC and County guidelines indicate a person presenting a temperature of 100.4 degrees or higher should not be admitted.
Please contact us immediately via email at info@lighthousesouthbay.org. Please follow CDC guidelines for self-quarantining and returning to health before registering for another Lighthouse on-site service.
All attendees who attended the same service as the attendee who confirmed positive of COVID-19 will be notified. The attendee who confirmed positive for COVID-19 will not be permitted to attend an on-site service until they have been cleared in accordance with CDC guidelines.
