WE ARE COMING HOME!

Reopening news

NEW UPDATES AS OF JULY 14

Our church office needs to close again effective today due to the new California state order against COVID-19 issued yesterday.  We will keep you posted here.  For urgent pastoral care needs, please contact our pastors directly or email to twinercheung@cefcla.org, or call the church office at 626-570-8971 to leave a message.  

For other questions or suggestions regarding our reopening, please email us at reopening@cefcla.org.

Your health and safety are our #1 concern!

Consider your risk:

  • The impact of COVID-19 on the health of Californians is not yet fully known. According to the California Department of Public Health (CDPH), certain groups, including people aged 65 or older and those with serious underlying medical conditions, such as heart or lung disease or diabetes, are at higher risk of hospitalization and serious complications.
  • Come back for worship only if you feel ready and comfortable. You can continue to join our online worship and stay connected.

Worship Reservation

Because we want to comply with the current CDPH guideline which requires places of worship must limit attendance to 25% of building capacity or a maximum of 100 attendees, whichever is lower.

  • Reservation is on a first-come-first serve. We will manage the situation so that everyone who wants to come back for in-person worship will have a chance to do that.
  • We will need your name and contact information when you make a reservation. It helps us with record tracking when such needs arise.
  • More details will be posted here as we approach the actual reopening date.
Expect a new worship time:
