COVID-19 Resources
We are aware that churches are currently working hard to adapt their services and gatherings to the unfolding COVID-19 crisis.
We have collated a number of resources below that may help you through this season. We are also encouraged by the stories that are emerging from churches as they respond to their communities – read the latest stories.
Note: The information provided in any resources below are correct at the time of distribution/publication. If more recent, government sanctioned information becomes available, please adhere to that advice instead
