Back to Church

Register between Sunday 1 pm – Midnight Thursday

Register Now

We're eager to meet in person, but how we do church onsite will be different from what we're accustomed to as we follow recommended guidelines. We realize you may not feel you need these precautions for yourself, but let’s all take this opportunity to consider the needs of those around us, and support each other in unity.

And let the peace that comes from Christ rule in your hearts. For as members of one body you are called to live in peace. And always be thankful. Colossians 3:15 (NLT)

Below is the protocol that Brookwood Church will implement beginning June 7

How and When to Reserve your Seats
