We Are Excited to Worship In-Person Again!
We are meeting in-person at our Shiloh Campus!
It's been a few months. We've been staying home, six feet apart, disinfecting everything, starting a collection of face masks, and worshiping with our families at home while watching church online. Life has been different. And although things are not completely back to normal, we're excited to take another step in that direction.
Not ready to take that step yet? THAT'S OKAY-- there is no pressure on you to do that at all. We will still have our Online Service available but are welcoming our congregation to come in for socially distanced services at our Shiloh Campus. Our O'Fallon Campus family is also joining us on the Shiloh Campus at this time.
Are you ready to join us?
Take a few minutes to watch Chris as he walks through all you can expect as we resume in-person worship!

What To Expect
Hey! Thank you for stopping by. Our goal as we relaunch back into our physical buildings is to provide a safe worship experience for your entire family. We have embraced the best practices during this pandemic to keep everyone safe and healthy while also being able to have a great worship experience with our community. We can't wait to see you and worship with you again!
-Pastor Chris
We have taken our time to create a plan to keep everyone as safe as possible as we move toward a "new normal." Listed below is a lot of information about our on-campus procedures during this sensitive time.
Building Entrances and Exits
At Shiloh, we are asking that everyone enter the building from the Green Mount Road entrance to the building. The circle drive will be our Exit. Handicap access will be permitted in the circle drive.
Our Greeters and Ushers will be wearing nametags & facemasks and are eager to help you and your family.
Sick, Vulnerable, Not Ready
We ask that if you are feeling sick, are vulnerable, or not ready to come back that you utilize our Online Worship Services. We want everyone to feel safe while on our campuses.
In the case of someone beginning to feel ill while at church, we request to be notified immediately. We have a safety plan in place for these specific instances.
Face Masks
Our staff and volunteers will all be wearing masks and we are asking for attendees to do the same.
Staff and volunteers, are required to wear a mask and will be temperature checked before serving. Teachers will be provided with face shields to help them connect with their students while still keeping them safe.
Sanitation Stations
Throughout our campuses, we will have hand sanitizer stations available for you to clean up after touching anything. Physical contact is how this virus spreads quickest and we want to eliminate that as much as possible. In the case that you end up touching a door, shaking a hand, or really anything at all, feel free to use our sanitation stations for quick cleaning.
Touchless Giving
We will not be passing offering bags in service. However, we will provide a black box in the back of the worship center for you to drop off your tithes and offerings as you leave or enter service.
If you would like set-up Online Giving you can find out how to do that here.
Communion
Prepackaged Communion will be provided on a table in the lobby as you enter the building. We will be taking time within the service to pause and remember what Jesus has done for each of us.
Kid's Safety
The Cornerstone Kids area is now open! We will provide classes for Walkers through Grade 5 for all services. We will evaluate nursery needs in the coming weeks.
For the safety of everyone, our classrooms will have maximum capacity limits. Our goal is to always take care of your kids in the best possible way during this new season.
Kids are also always welcome to worship with their families in service.
FAQ's
Have questions? We have answers!
Don't Worry: We Still Have Online Services
Like we mentioned above, everyone is personally at a different comfort level with this pandemic and relaunching. If you are still hesitant about coming to an in-person church service, it is completely okay. Your safety and comfort are important to us. If you are more comfortable with still worshiping from home, we understand and will continue to offer our Online Service options.

#WorshipFromHome
While we were all stuck at home, we asked people on Facebook and Instagram to share their photos of what church at home looked like by tagging us at @onecornerstone and using #WorshipFromHome. There were so many great photos and videos shared over the weeks. Feel free to continue sharing more with us as you keep on worshipping!
Questions?
We know this was a lot of information and there is always the possibility that we have forgotten to address something here. Please feel free to contact us and ask any questions that you may have. All of this is new territory for us and we want you to feel as safe and comfortable with the procedures as possible.
