Sunday Services 9:15 & 11:00 AM
Valley Brook Campus:
160 Granville Road, North Granby, CT 06060
On Sundays we gather at the Valley Brook campus for our 9:15 & 11:00 AM services.
Our staff and leaders have created a process that meets the four areas that we identified as critical to re-gathering in our building: safety, compliance, inclusion, unity. The steps we're asking you to take when attending at our campus are outlined below.

If you're unable to join us in person, you can watch online! We livestream both services.
We look forward to seeing you in person or online! Thank you for being the church!
In Christ,
Pastor Clark Pfaff

Steps We Take:
- Sanitizing Stations: Hand sanitizer stations are available throughout the building.
- Enhanced Cleaning: All hard-touched surfaces (e.g. doorknobs, bathrooms), chairs, and high contact areas after each service.

- No Post Service Coffee: For now, we will not serve coffee after services so we can follow general health and hygiene guidelines.
- Limited Building Access: The Children’s Ministry wing, the Venue, and the office area will be closed for cleaning and building capacity purposes. The Café will be open for allowable overflow seating if needed as determined by our Usher and staff teams.
- Regular Review: We will regularly review our re-gathering plan and update as needed to ensure it continues to meet our four focus areas and state regulations and guidelines.

Parents, we encourage you in this time to take advantage of the opportunity to study God's word with your students. Here are some apps that students can use to help study God's word and potentially do Bible study discussion with other students/leaders.
