COVID-19 virus impacted all communities, changing established patterns of life, and creating anxiety. In response to the pandemic, the Office of the Bishop encourages congregations to work together to establish a culture of care which protects members of your congregations and the wider community.

While each congregation will weigh the risks of gathering again in-person as allowed by the Commonwealth of Virginia, the Office of the Bishop urges you to remember that as followers of Jesus our call is to proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ, to go and make disciples, and to love our neighbor, not to fill buildings with people.

To assist you as you navigate the pandemic, the Office of the Bishop is continually curating resources. The resources and information we find most helpful is posted under the categories below.
