This Season at Ebenezer

April 1, 2020 Robbin Hunsberger

Updated: 1/12/2021

Our Elders have decided that Ebenezer will continue with our current Covid safety measures at least through the end of March 2021. Sunday morning worship services, Sunday school, and many of our small-group events will continue to be held in person. We will continue to recommend social distancing, hand sanitizing, low-touch measures, and the wearing of face masks until you are seated.


Sunday Morning Worship Services:

8:30am & 11:15am
Our in-person worship services have limited seating available in the sanctuary with overflow seating in the gym (live video of service provided). Social distancing is encouraged, “low-touch” methods are in place, face masks are recommended and may be removed once seated, socializing is encouraged to be done outdoors. A digital attendance & connection form (https://form NULL.jotform NULL.com/90574904042152) is available on the mobile app and website.  For those needing to worship at home, our Live Simulcast (https://livestream NULL.com/EBFCStream/weekly-sunday-service-2020) is available online at 8:30am, with the recording available anytime afterward.


Children’s Programs During Worship Services:

  • During 1st Service, 8:30 am:
    – Early Childhood (2-3 year-olds), Room 8
  • During 2nd Service, 11:15 am:
    – Nursery (0-23 mos), Main Lobby
    – Early Childhood (2-3 year-olds), Room 8
    – Children’s Church (Age 4-K), Room 16/18


Sunday School:

10:05 – 11:00 am
The following classes are being provided. Masks or face shields are recommended for children age 4 – grade 5 (where social distancing is difficult and many teachers are at-risk individuals). Grades 6 and up will encourage social distancing with masks recommended until seated. CLICK HERE for a letter to parents from our Children’s Ministry Director.

Sunday Adult Electives:

10:05 – 10:45 am
The Adult Elective classes meet in the gym, and end at 10:45am so that we have time to sanitize everything before Second Service. Social distancing is encouraged and masks are recommended until you are seated.

Jan 10 – June 6, 2021 – Two classes are being offered:
1) Minor Prophets – Taught by Scott Holwick, Gym-North
2) 1 & 2 Corinthians – Taught by Marcus Brunstetter, Gym-South
