Covid Guidelines:

Updated October 2. 2022

Note on Guidelines: 

Our guidelines are taken from the Government of Nova Scotia and the Department of Health and Wellness.  As a church we will continue to follow these and, at times, may have chosen more stringent guidelines.  We will keep you up-to-date as the guidelines change.

Public Health Recommendations for Gatherings (as of March 21, 2022)

To protect yourself and others, Public Health recommends that you wear a mask if you're in a crowded, indoor place or feel sick.

  • Don’t host or participate in activities if you feel sick, have any COVID-19 symptoms, or are self-isolating.

  • Masks are suggested in public places (indoor and outdoor), even if it’s not required.

  • Keep your close social contacts consistent, as much as possible.

  • Make informed choices about who you interact with and how to interact with each other (consider age, occupation, and health conditions).

  • Don’t share food or beverages.

  • See https://novascotia.ca/coronavirus/avoiding-infection/for more details.

Gathering Limits

  • Gathering limits are back to 100 percent of capacity for regular faith services, weddings, funerals and visitation, meetings, and training that are hosted by a recognized business or organization, including faith organizations. There may be capacity limits based our facilities and the event planned.

Sunday morning church service:

  • We can host 100 percent of our building capacity.

  • Masks are strongly recommended.

  • If you have any COVID-19 or cold symptoms, please watch the service online.

SonGarden Kids and Nursery:

  • Masks are required for everyone over 4 years of age.

  • Hand hygiene is a must.

  • Gathering space for SonGarden Kids will be enlarged to enhance social distancing.

Meetings and Other Gatherings in the Church

  • For meetings, weddings, and other events masks and social distancing are strongly recommended. As Life Branch Church operates as a workplace for its staff, these requirements are in place for the safety of those who work and volunteer at the church.

  • For all other activities in the building, our Workplace COVID-19 Prevention Plan is still in place. This means that masking and distancing are strongly recommended.

  • Banquets or events involving food, masks are strongly recommended when not seated, tables must maintain social distancing, and food must be served to seated participants (no buffet style events).
