The journey continues! As the Phase One reopening for the state of Florida begins on May 3, 2020, FBCMI will be implementing the following plan to stay in accordance with our authorities and maintain the greatest continued safety for all.

Dear FBCMI family,

We want to communicate with concise and clear strategies. We realize each phase will invite degrees of interpretation and possibilities of confusion. Our hope is to establish simple clarity for each part of the journey.

The overarching approach to Phase One will include FBCMI offices returning to regular operations while implementing CDC recommendations and the continued suspension of all on-campus activities and gatherings. We are committed to forming and sustaining vibrant experiences involving online gatherings, discipleship and community.

We long to be back together. Until that day comes, we will treasure being together via online technology, and will grow in our expectancy of worshiping Jesus together while in the same room!

Walking together by faith,

FBCMI Pastors
