BUILDING CLOSURES

To accommodate a personal leave of absence by our Ministry Resource & Church Support Staff we thank you for your patience and understanding around the closure of the church office. The voicemail will be checked daily and messages returned as required.  All other ministry and church staff will be available as their work schedule dictates. Please contact the person you wish to speak or meet with prior to visiting the church.  For staff contact information click here.

AT BETHANY, WE have a SIMPLe process for BUILDING CLOSURE AND PROGRAM CANCELLATION POLICIES TO ENSURE DUTY OF CARE FOR OUR FAITH COMMUNITY.

During the week and Saturday, Board of Managers in collaboration with lay and ministry staff, decide if the building closes to renters and members for clean up after weather systems or other building repair or maintenance issues.

On Sundays, the process for this decision falls to the Lead Minister, Clerk of Session, and Chair of the Executive Board regarding cancellation of worship service.

An announcement decision will occur by 8am. Check in various locations, depending on access to power and technology as applicable for the circumstances:

  • Bethany website announcement banner at top of the page

  • Facebook page: @bethanyunitedchurchhfx

  • Instagram account: @bethanyunited

  • Congregational Email

  • Telephone system will be forwarded to our Ministry Resource Support staff as required. 

  • Posted to entrance points will be a closure notice.
