SAFETY PROTOCOLS FOR REGATHERING

PRIORITIZING THE HEALTH & SAFETY OF HFC FAMILIES:
- We believe that one of the best ways to “love your neighbor” is to not get them sick. That means, we will always put the health and safety of the vulnerable ahead of benefits to the healthy. That is why we’ve created these safety protocols for all Hoboken Free Church gatherings. Please read through them so you know what you can expect from us, and what we are asking of you.

Think of other people as more important than yourself. - Philippians 2:3

SELF-CHECK HEALTH ASSESSMENT
- We’re asking YOU to self-check for COVID-19 symptoms (cough, fever, chills, muscle pain, difficulty breathing, sore throat, loss of taste or smell) and risk factors before attending any HFC events. Please stay home if you are feeling unwell or if you’ve been in contact with anyone with COVID-19 in the last 14 days.
TEMPERATURE CHECKS
- To keep you safe, all staff and volunteers are required to receive temperature checks upon arrival, and we reserve the right to temperature check all guests. Anyone registering 100.4 or higher will be asked to return home.
MASKS
- Masks are required to be worn by all adults and children ages 2 and older, and yes, this includes at our outdoor events. Please bring your own masks to all events.
SOCIAL DISTANCING
- We will work to create environments conducive to social distancing and we ask that all individuals / families remain at least 6-feet apart from others during events. We’re trading-in hugs, handshakes, and high-fives for exuberant waves to old friends!
HAND SANITIZER STATIONS
- Hand sanitizer stations will be provided at every Hoboken Free Church event.
FOOD & DRINK
- We won’t be serving any food and we ask that you don’t bring any outside food to HFC events. Since you can’t eat with a mask on, we believe this is best for everyone’s safety and comfort levels. Bottled water is an exception—stay hydrated!
ADVANCE REGISTRATION
- Registration will be required for all our events—from movie nights to worship services. All registrants must confirm receipt of and agree to comply with these safety protocols. This will also help us manage event capacity, as we anticipate some events may “sell out.”

Hoboken Free Church is committed to following all state and local authorities’ directives and CDC guidelines.
Our HFC guidelines will be continually modified to follow any new directives.
