COVID-19 GUIDELINES

It is our desire to always provide a safe, friendly, and welcoming experience for members and guests of all ages. All pews in the Worship Center are available for seating. If certain sections are crowded, please consider sitting in pews or sections that maybe less crowded. We should have enough space, including overflow in the Fellowship Hall, to accommodate everyone comfortably.

Per New Mexico’s recently undated health order, masks or face coverings are mandated to be worn indoors, regardless of a person’s vaccination status. Masks are not required to be worn while attending worship services, Bible study, or other events at FBC Carlsbad.

However, if you believe that you should wear a mask or face covering based on your personal needs or health concerns, then we encourage you to do so. If you or your child(ren) are not feeling well, we would encourage you to stay home and participate in online worship.

If you have any questions about First Baptist’s COVID-19 Policies & Procedures, please see one of the Pastors or call the church office.
