Sunday Services (During COVID)
With the warmer months of spring we are planning to have outdoor services on the FIRST SUNDAY of each month (likely through the fall) and have limited indoor services on all other Sundays (registration required). So if you still feel uncomfortable worshiping indoors please do mark your calendars to join us for the first Sunday of each month for our in-person outdoor services.
Services (whether indoor or outdoor) begin at 11:30 am on Sundays. We will always live-stream our services on our YouTube channel at 11:30am on Sundays for those unable to attend. Please click on the buttons below to access our YouTube channel or our podcasts on the iTunes or Stitcher apps.

In-Person Sunday Service Registration
please register for our indoor service by clicking on the desired date below
When and where do you meet?
While in COVID mitigation, we will be meeting indoors with limited capacity seating and with comprehensive safety measures in place (see further below for details). Our Sunday service will begin at 11:30am and will run approximately one hour with the main worship in the sanctuary. We will also have a limited children's ministry and youth group program in other parts of the building for those who register. In order to safely distance our capacity for the service is as follows: 90 for sanctuary, 50 for gym/youth group room (youth group), and 50 for the children's ministry in the fellowship hall on the lower level. Once we reach capacity, we will close registration.
Covid Protocol Update: We are asking anyone who experiences a fever or fever-like symptoms to refrain from attending any in-person ICC events until at least 7 days after the symptoms have subsided. We are also recommending those who experience these symptoms to get COVID tested if possible.
Children's Ministry. We will resume meeting in person on 2/21. We will be hosting a children's program by family groups in the fellowship hall (limited to 35 people total). Family tables will be safely spaced out in the fellowship hall where at least one parent is invited to worship with their children. A children's Bible Story & activities will be provided. One parent per family will serve as a table facilitator, shepherding your children through the lesson, discussion and prayer time. Please bring: mask & water bottle. Families will be asked to help sanitize areas before leaving.
Catalyst Youth Group. We will resume meeting in person on 2/21. To keep groups smaller our Catalyst youth alternate meeting every other week between two groups (6th, 10th, 11th & 12th graders) and (7th, 8th, & 9th graders). Please contact Pastor Chris Kim if you'd like to know the schedule for a particular Sunday or check the ICC Google calendar (linked HERE). If your youth-aged child does not have small group on a given Sunday they are welcome to worship with their parent(s) in the sanctuary.

What steps are being taken to ensure the safety of all attendees?
Your safety is of the utmost importance to us. Therefore in addition to limiting the number of people who can occupy a room (in conjunction with CDC and the state of Illinois guidelines) we want you to know that:
1. We require temperature checks, mask-wearing and safe social-distancing and seating for everyone entering the building.
2. We have truncated our live worship to approximately one hour so people are not gathered in one room for an extended period of time.
3. All the rooms we use (e.g. sanctuary, fellowship hall, gym) have their own dedicated roof-top HVAC units with a high-filtration system, which means that the indoor air is continuously refreshed with the outdoor air instead of being stagnant or recycling the same air within the room.
4. We have limited congregational singing (with masks) to the end of the adult service only, so those who do not wish to participate may exit the room at that time.
5. Door handles. bathrooms and high-touch and high-traffic areas are sanitized regularly.
6. We are logging all attendees and committed to contact tracing and communicating all affected immediately if a COVID case ever arises.

In order to register, you must adhere to the following:

- A greeter will take my temperature before entering the church building. If it is above 99.9 degrees, I will not attend.

- I have not had contact with a person confirmed or suspected to have Covid-19 for more than 14 days and have been practicing Illinois safety guidelines.
- If you were traveling or even staying in town and social distancing was not practiced, we ask you to respectfully decline attending an in person service at this time.
- I will bring a face covering (mask) and wear it while in the church building (anyone 2 years and older) Extra masks will be available at the church

What should I wear?
When you come to our service, you will find people dressed anywhere from jeans and t-shirts to business casual attire. Feel free to wear whatever makes you feel comfortable. But please bring a face-mask for each member of your family above the age of 2 (we can provide them if you do not have any).
What about my children?
As stated above, we will be running a limited in-person program for our elementary and pre-school aged children and our youth (6th-12th grades). We are asking at least one parent to volunteer to serve with the children if your children is participating in the children's ministry. The youth group will meet for small groups alternating between 6th, 10th, 11th, & 12th graders on one Sunday and 7th, 8th, & 9th graders on alternating Sundays. (Please note which group is up on your registration). For more information on our Children's Ministry, click here and more information on our youth ministry "Catalyst" click here.
