Covid-19 Update: November 21, 2020

[this update no longer applies]
 
Attention parents,
 
With the difficulty of staffing our rooms with workers due to positive cases, quarantines, and those being cautious with upcoming travel, we have made the difficult decision to have all children’s programming go to a virtual-only format throughout the holiday season. This means there will be a streamlined Sunday lesson for both the elementary and early childhood areas. You will receive an email with this information and you can also find these links on our website at wentzvillecc.org/wentzvillekidz along with our wentzvilleKidz Facebook page.
 
We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. We will provide children’s activities on Sunday mornings for any children who are attending with their families. Thank you for your understanding as we are continually forced to make difficult decisions during this pandemic.

Covid-19 Update: November 5, 2020

In light of a number of positive covid tests within our community, schools, and congregation, we want to get back to some good habits in an effort to keep from spreading the virus.
 
∙ If you are sick or have symptoms, please stay connected by viewing our online services instead of coming on campus.
 
∙ We are urging everyone to practice social distancing. We’ve gotten away from this and we need to put 6 feet between us and others to avoid physical contact as much as possible (hugs, hand shakes, etc.).
 
∙ At this time, we are urging everyone to wear masks. Our staff, leaders, and volunteers will be wearing masks and we would love for you to join us for the health and safety of everyone.
 

Thank you for your continued flexibility, support, and encouragement during this time.

Keith Comp

Senior Minister

IMPORTANT UPDATE FOR CHILDREN’S MINISTRY

[updated Saturday, July 18, 2020]
 

Dear WCC family,

It has come to our attention that a child of one of our children’s ministry workers has tested positive for Covid. While this child has not been at WCC recently, the parent did serve this past Sunday and is in the process of getting tested. Since we do not have the results of this individual’s test at this time, we are going to postpone on-campus programming for birth through 5th grade for both this Sunday, July 19th, and next Sunday, July 26th, along with Jesus and Me on Wednesday, July 22nd. We will also be sanitizing classrooms and making every effort to make sure the whole children’s area is thoroughly cleaned. We will contact the families of any children who we know were in direct contact with this individual in the classroom as well. Adult and teen services will continue as usual with no reservations required.

We want to clarify again that this child was not on our campus and we still have not had a confirmed positive case on campus throughout this whole time. This child started showing symptoms this past Tuesday and received the confirmed positive on Friday. Also, the worker was wearing a mask the entire time while serving. However, we do want to proceed with caution until we have more information with this current situation.

Thank you for your understanding and we ask for your prayers both for this family as they deal with this Covid case and our church leadership as we try to make the best decisions to keep our church family safe and connected. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact our leadership at info@wentzvillecc.org.

Video Message from Keith

MESSAGE FROM KEITH
It was great to be together this past weekend! We want to thank all of you for staying engaged. Whether you join us online or on campus, thanks for being engaged. This past weekend, May 10, we were able to meet, with limited capacity, on our campus. If you would like to join us, please review our guidelines below and make your reservation here. If you joined us this past week, please make your reservation again for this week! Right now, we will be doing this at least until the end of May.
 
With Missouri opening up more and more in the days to come, the temptation to move toward other activities or things will present itself…my encouragement to you is to stay engaged! If you are struggling to connect for whatever reason or are having a difficult time, please contact us at info@wentzvillecc.org so we can reach out to you.
 
Thanks again! We love you and are praying for you all!

 WCC LIMITED RE-OPENING PLAN – MAY 10

UPDATE: May 3, 2020

 

MESSAGE FROM KEITH

What a crazy time this has been for our community, our church, and our families. Through it all, the WCC family has been amazing! I’ve seen you serving one another and your neighbors, being generous in your giving, making sure others are taken care of…what a beautiful display of Jesus’ hands and feet!
 
We are excited to announce a limited opening of our worship services beginning Sunday, May 10. In order to have adequate space for social distancing, we will be limiting the amount of people entering the building. Each family/individual must pre-register by filling out the reservation form at wentzvillecc.org.
 
I know right now many of you are ready to get back to church, even if we have to social distance…and we do! I know others will feel it is too soon, and that’s okay. Some are ready, some are not and we will love each other in the midst of that. The staff and leadership have given careful consideration to this decision, knowing that many of you will choose to continue worshipping online. Others may choose to come to the campus on May 10 and we welcome you, but with some necessary precautions.
 

PLEASE READ THE PROCEDURES AND GUIDELINES.

DO NOT SHOW UP WITHOUT A RESERVATION.
 
We will continue to monitor the plans and guidelines provided by our government officials. We will also be evaluating and updating our procedures and guidelines each week. Check back for further details.
 
We value all of you and we value your feedback. If you have comments, questions, or concerns, please contact our leadership team at info@wentzvillecc.org. For the health of our church body, we ask you to direct your feedback to us personally instead of engaging in discussions on social media [2 Timothy 2:14-16].
 
Thank you so much for your flexibility, support, and understanding as we make tough decisions of how to shepherd the flock as well as keep everyone safe. May God bless you and your family.
 

Keith Comp

Senior Minister

 Wentzville Christian Church COVID-19 Update

April 2, 2020

 

Happy Thursday everyone! I would have given this update yesterday, but since it was April Fool’s Day, I thought it might be a better idea for today! I know there are lots of challenges for all of us right now and we continue to pray and want to encourage you to stay strong.  Thank you so much for walking with Jesus, being his hands and his feet to others in the midst of the crisis! Thank you for joining us online on Sundays and throughout the week and thank you for continuing to generously give to WCC.

As you know, the federal government and our local school systems are continuing their plans for social distancing and we will do the same. Lots of ideas are thrown our way each week about how to bring people together, but they end up creating some of the same issues that would potentially spread the virus, so we are staying the course with online services and encouraging groups to use a variety of options and online resources to continue to meet. Right now, unless something changes, we will continue this plan until April 27th.

The Elders and our staff want to let you know that if you need prayer or need to talk with someone, we want to be there for you.  We are keeping the office open throughout the week with a smaller number of staff each day, but we are available…shoot us an email or text or call us during office hours if you need something.

Easter Sunday, April 12…please invite people to watch our online services as we celebrate the resurrection and share the gospel! Thanks again for having a passion for Jesus, the Bible, the Church and Others…we love you and are praying for you all! 

  • WEEKEND WORSHIP SERVICES – We will continue to livestream our weekend worship services and share God’s Word on Sundays at 9am and 10:30am. Until further notice, we will be ONLINE ONLY: visit wentzvillecc.org to livestream, give online, and see important updates. Both live services can also be viewed on our Facebook page which allows for comments, questions, and engagement with others.
  • ON-CAMPUS – We are suspending all on-campus gatherings on WCC’s campus until April 27. No exceptions. The WCC Office will remain open throughout the week for business, pastoral, and benevolence needs. Our pastors are always available if you need to talk, pray, or address concerns.
  • OFF-CAMPUS – Life Groups, 246 Groups, and others will discuss the best way to continue to stay engaged. Some are choosing to continue meeting in person, some are using online tools, and others may choose to suspend gatherings.

     

  • RESOURCES – Our NextGen Team and Discipleship Team will be sharing lessons, devotionals, games, and other activities you and your family can use to grow and connect with God.These will be sent via social media and email. 

These decisions will remain in place until April 27, 2020. WCC Leadership will be monitoring our situation and we will keep you updated with further decisions.

Remember our BIG THREE!!

  1. PRAY! PRAY! PRAY!
  2. Be the hands and feet of Jesus!

 Wentzville Christian Church COVID-19 Update

March 14, 2020

 
Out of love and concern for our community, the leadership of Wentzville Christian have decided to suspend “face-to-face” gatherings of over 250 people on our campus this weekend. Sunday morning services are being moved to ONLINE ONLY on Sunday, March15, 2020. We want to encourage you to participate in our livestream service at 9AM and a Facebook “Watch Party” at 10:30AM. Our Senior Minister, Keith Comp, will be participating in the Watch Party and is inviting you to ask questions pertaining to the message.
 
Because of the fluid nature of the situation our community and country are in, we are not ready to communicate decisions about future services and events at this time. Smaller gatherings and ministries will continue as planned until further notice. 
 
Please look for emails, Facebook posts, and our website for information regarding smaller gatherings and events.
 
We will miss seeing one another this weekend, but we hope you are able to join us for our online services. Here’s how to do that:
 
The 9am service is available via live stream at wentzvillecc.org/live.
You can watch live at 9am and join a Watch Party at 10:30am on our facebook page.
After the 9am service, it can be viewed anytime at wentzvillecc.org/wccsermons.
Online giving can be done at wentzvillecc.org/give.
 

 Wentzville Christian Church COVID-19 Update

March 12, 2020

 

As we continue to track developments concerning the coronavirus (COVID-19), we want to assure you that the public health and safety concerns are of vital importance to us. We are being very intentional to ensure clean, sanitary, and safe environments for people to meet and worship God. While we realize no public environment is 100% safe, we are taking every precaution and safety measure possible. We have enhanced our already-thorough cleaning procedures and the following recommendations and precautions will be in place to ensure a safe and positive experience for everyone:

  • If you or your kids are symptomatic, please stay home and get well.
  • If you are in the “high-risk” zone based on age or pre-existing conditions, make the best decision and one that you are comfortable making. We support you in whatever decision you make. See below how to remain engaged while at home.
  • Please wash your hands before and after services.
  • Please cover your sneeze/cough with a tissue or crook of your arm. 
  • We will use respectful caution with our personal interactions by avoiding handshakes and hugs. Instead, we encourage an elbow or fist bump, a wave, or the Holy Head-nod. 
  • Our facility will go through a deep cleaning, including all children’s classrooms, toys, restrooms, and various touch points (doorknobs, handles, water faucets, handrails, etc.)
  • Hand sanitizer will be available in convenient locations. 

It is important that we continue to meet as a body of believers and it is our desire that you feel safe in doing so. However, we encourage you to make the best decision for you and your family. For those who need to stay home for any reason, we encourage you to stay engaged. 

 

Both the 9am and 10:30am services are available via live stream at wentzvillecc.org/live or on our facebook page and online giving can be done at wentzvillecc.org/give.

 

A sister church said it this way:

The uncertainty of this outbreak is creating anxiety in our workplaces, schools, and day-to-day activities, yet we remain certain of God’s steadfast presence and careful attention to all that is happening. Please join us in prayer for those who are affected by this illness as well as their caregivers and those who are working around the clock to minimize the impact of this virus.

In Psalm 46, we are reminded that it is God who is our refuge and strength, and our ever-present help in trouble. Therefore, let us not fear, but with confidence use this opportunity to be the hands and feet of Jesus through our prayers and our care for others.
