COVID Policies and Guidelines

The health and welfare of our brothers and sisters in Christ are of utmost concern at Charlton Church. Following the instructions of our founder John Wesley, we aim to “Do No Harm” in all that we do and say. Therefore, Charlton Church has adopted policies to keep our church family safe during this pandemic.

Masks are no longer required for those who have been fully vaccinated while in the church building.  Persons who have not been vaccinated are encouraged to wear masks. We ask that people observe social distancing whenever possible.

The rear of the sanctuary is reserved for those persons who wish to keep their masks on during the worship service.  Please note that all persons sitting in the designated pews and back of the sanctuary are required to keep their masks on.  It is important to remember that those who choose to sit in this section are doing so with the understanding that others in that section will be keeping their masks on as well.

Our children’s and youth ministries will follow the guidelines of the Central Dauphin School District. This means that, at this point in time, masks are optional for all children and youth.

In order for Charlton Church to maintain our current masking policies, which includes no masks for those who are vaccinated, we need to be aware of the health of our church family. 

If you test positive for the coronavirus, we respectfully ask that you notify the church office. It would be helpful for you to share who you may have had contact with while at church, so that we could notify those individuals. The church office will work with those individuals to handle the information discreetly.
