Registration for attendance of worship services

Victory Baptist Church is offering three (3) Sunday services to meet physically together, in addition to the live streaming video of the morning worship service which will be available at the church’s Youtube channel at 11:00 a.m. and archived for later viewing.

There is a maximum of fifty (50) people who may be permitted to gather together in the church building. In order to maintain this limitation, we will control the number of attendees by registering in advance. Online registration for the 11:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. services may be accessed by entering your email address below (if your email is already registered with us). Registration for the 9:00 a.m. service is done by contacting Mrs. Searle. If you are a visitor, we would be glad to register you for the 11:00 a.m. service. Please email us at info@victorybaptistpoco.ca.

Please read the following instructions as well as the rules and protocols. You will be required to agree to these in order to start the registration.

Worship times (restricted by age)

The morning services are for those who are GRADE 8 AND OLDER.
The afternoon service will be at 2:00 P.M for children AGE 3 – GRADE 7 (and their parents and siblings). We will meet in the sanctuary and then have the children escorted downstairs by a parent or older sibling to an age appropriate service. We will continue the online children’s service until we work out the need for services based on attendance requirements.

Volunteering to give up your space to a visitor

With the maximum of fifty (50) people permitted to be present in the church building we have added a volunteer checkbox on the registration page. Those on this list ARE INDICATING THAT THEY ARE WILLING to leave the service if visitors show up and our capacity of fifty (50) is exceeded. An usher would inform you in the event of this.

Hygiene Protocol

In order to attend one of the physical services there are some guidelines that we request be adhered to while being in the church building.

They are given here and will again be stated in an email when you register. Please understand that our goal in this is that we want to safeguard our testimony in the community. With these guidelines we signal our concern for the well-being of those with whom we subsequently make physical contact in society. Also, we safeguard those in attendance who may be vulnerable.

We are endeavouring to make everyone comfortable to a level that permits us to worship without too much distraction. Though we are still apart physically, even though together in the building, we may by our spirit and attitude attempt to reflect the love of our saviour toward our brethren. This includes both being gracious for mistakes, but also in adhering as much as possible to the guidelines and the spirit of them.
