We pray you are well, and drawing near to God who loves to draw near to us (James 4:8). In this time of global pandemic, we wanted to bring you up-to-date on resources and opportunities available through Community Church to be Christ’s light and salt in this world.

We began regathering for our in-person services Sunday July 5, 2020. As we regather, we will maintain appropriate physical distancing, and in compliance with our local, county, and state elected officials guidelines, our Leadership Team asks that  everyone wear a face mask to worship. We will provide face masks if you forgot yours. Seating will be limited to 50 people per service.

Please watch this short VIDEO to get an idea of what to expect as we regather together. We want to ensure that our time together in weekly worship is safe, joyful and glorifying to God while loving our neighbor by keeping them protected as we regather. Jesus told us that we love Him by caring for “the least of these brothers and sisters.” Let us make every effort to love one another in ways that care for the health and wellness of each person we meet. As always we seek the Lord’s guidance and remain open to adjusting this regathering plan if needed; “In their hearts humans plan their course, but the LORD establishes their steps” (Proverbs 16:9).

We invite any and all to “Know Christ” by joining us for weekly worship on Sunday mornings at 9:00 & 11:00 AM. Anyone who may not be ready to regather in person for various reasons, may continue to join us for worship online every Sunday morning. We will prerecord weekly worship services and have them available on our Cannon Beach Community Church YouTube Channel every Sunday morning by 10:30AM..

We invite you to “Grow in Christ together” through encouraging videos presented by our pastors, from Immerse readings by Associate Pastor Nathan, and Cloud Devotionals by Lead Pastor David or solo original piano compositions by our Lead Pastor David. On our church website, https://beachcommunity.org/ you will find an orange YouTube icon at the footer (bottom of the homepage) linking to these videos.

We invite you to “Grow in Christ together” weekly by joining a Grow Group, which are currently meeting either in the Fellowship Hall of the church, in homes, or by Zoom Video Conferencing. If you are not yet connected to a small group and would like to be, please call or e-mail the Church Office.

Finally, we invite you to “Go with Christ into our Community and World,” being Christ’s light and salt, making an eternal difference among family, friends, neighbors, co-workers, and people you meet every day. Because Covid-19 is still present in our county, state, nation and world, we encourage everyone to share God’s love wisely, using the public health best-practices recommended by our healthcare professionals. Yet, let us all be willing to enter the lives of unchurched people, prayerfully, relationally, socially, bringing Christ’s B.L.E.S.S.ing: Begin with prayer; Listen with care; Eat together; Serve with love; Share God’s story.

Those who live in the shelter of the Most High will find rest in the shadow of the Almighty.

This I declare about the Lord: He alone is my refuge,

my place of safety; he is my God, and I trust him.

For he will rescue you from every trap and protect you from deadly disease.

— Psalm 91:1-3 (NLT)
