Riverbend Plan & Precautions
for COVID-19
Last updated 08/7/21
PLAN
MASKS OPTIONAL ON CAMPUS
In accordance with CDC guidance on vaccinated individuals we are making our mask policy optional. We know that this decision will be received differently by each individual, and we ask that you prayerfully consider others as you make decisions for you and your family.
If you have been fully vaccinated: you do not need to wear a mask while on campus.
If you have not been vaccinated: we encourage you to continue wearing masks when moving around the campus, but when you are seated you do not need to wear one.
If you feel more comfortable wearing masks at all times, you are welcome to do so.
COMMUNITY GROUPS & MEN’S/WOMEN’S GROUPS
On campus meetings of our Community Groups and Men’s/Women’s groups are actively meeting via in-person, virtual, and hybrid environments. If you have questions about your group’s current meeting schedule, contact your group leader directly or email Kacy Hill: khill@riverbend.com

PRECAUTIONS
SOCIAL DISTANCING & PHYSICAL CONTACT
We are encouraging everyone to maintain a social distancing where possible.
SANITIZATION STATIONS & CLEANING
Our buildings are cleaned prior to each service. We have also installed anti-bacterial gel, tissues, and disinfectant wipes at various stations around the Riverbend campus to help ensure a more sanitary environment.
