FULL REOPENING GUIDELINES:

In the last several weeks, we have monitored guidelines and best practices for gathering in a safe way. After a significant amount of prayer and preparation, we will continue services at all physical locations on Sunday, May 24th. We're committed to creating an environment that meets government recommendations for safety. To make that possible, our Sunday services have been redesigned to create a sanitized environment with hands free options. 

 
Important Dates:
 

All campuses and locations will reopen on Sunday, May 24th. This includes Original (Milner) Campus, The Branch Campus, Macon Campus and Griffin (Impact) Campus. See more details about how we’re keeping you safe below. 

RS Kids will be available during all services beginning Sunday, May 24th. See more details about how RS Kids will function below.

There will be no choir on Sunday mornings or choir practice on Wednesday evenings until further notice. More details about community building opportunities will be communicated to you through your Campus Worship Pastor. 

All Sunday school classes, on campus small groups, Wednesday classes, and senior adult gatherings will not be held until further notice. More details about community building opportunities will be communicated to you through your ministry leader or Pastor.  

We are continuing to monitor the situation in each of our communities to determine any necessary changes. We encourage you to make the best choice for your family and situation as you consider attending a physical location or continuing to worship at Rock Springs Church Online. 

How we’re keeping you safe:
 
  1. Continually sanitizing all areas.
  2. Providing hands free options. 
  3. Praying over each space.
