Friends Community Church Guidelines
Celebration
Whether in person or online, the Church is called to meet together. Until we are able to worship in a pre-COVID 19 manner, we encourage you to join us in person or continue to participate online through FCC Church Online or Facebook. We are excited to begin meeting together but will need to do so in stages. As restrictions are lifted, more opportunities to gather together will be offered. We want to make sure you feel comfortable and safe as you gather and with the help of the state of California, we have set guidelines with your well-being in mind.
