Mt Pleasant Church

reopening process

The Governance Board has approved Phase Two of our reopening plan, creating a framework by which Adult Sunday School classes and limited children/youth ministries may return to on-site gatherings beginning Sep. 13, 2020. Please refer to the reopening guidelines (below) for specific guidelines which are in effect for all on-site gatherings.

It is important that each individual and family decide for themselves when it is right to return to in-person gatherings. Some will be quick to return. Others won’t be able to return until after a vaccine is in place. Most will be somewhere in-between. All of these are good choices and we support you in making the right choice for your own health, safety, and comfort.

how we are making decisions

We are closely monitoring information from the CDC, the PA Health Department and local agencies to be sure we are basing our decisions on the best medical guidance possible. We are also reviewing statistics in Franklin County and other parts of PA as well as best practices of churches across the region.

We will likely move more slowly than some other churches. But what works in one setting doesn't work in all. Please pray for our Reopening Task Team and Governance Board as we prayerfully and carefully plan to reopen our facility.
