CARROLLWOOD BAPTIST CHURCH

Coronavirus (Covid-19) Update

March 27, 2020

Dear Church Family,

We are continuing to adapt to the changing conditions and challenges that the coronavirus virus has presented us. In our ongoing commitment to do everything possible to provide a safe environment for our church family and the surrounding community, and in cooperation with Hillsborough County’s “Safer-at-Home” order (https://www.hillsboroughcounty.org/en/residents/public-safety/emergency-management/safer-at-home) all Carrollwood Baptist Church activities on campus (including Wednesdays and Sundays) will remain suspended until further notice. The scheduled Easter Egg Hunt is also cancelled.

We are remaining prayerful and seeking ways to stay connected with our church family. 

Here Are Some Ways You Can Stay Connected During This Time

Because “Religious Personnel” are considered an “Essential Profession” during the “Safer-at-Home” order the Church Office will remain open for normal operating hours with measures in place to ensure “physical distancing.” However, there may be times when ministerial and other office staff members may be working remotely. Please contact us if you have any needs either at (813) 962-3214 or churchoffice@carrollwoodbaptist.org.

Sunday Worship Services will continue to be ONLINE only. You can worship with us at 10:30 a.m. at Carrollwoodbaptist.org.

A brief overview of the Explore the Bible small group study material is available each Sunday at 9:00 a.m. on our website.

A Midweek Bible Study on Wednesdays at 7:00 p.m. will continue to be available on Facebook and afterward it will be made available on our website.

Bible studies for children, students and adults have been added to our website.

We will continue to send out updates and encouragements through email and social media.

Thank You for Your Faithfulness! While we anticipated a decrease in our offerings, we are rejoicing in the faithfulness of God that the drop has been minimal to this point. Thank you for continuing to faithfully give financially either through online giving at Carrollwoodbaptist.org or by mail (5395 Ehrlich Rd. Tampa, FL 33625) so that the ministry of the church thrives all the more during these difficult days.

Learning Center: The Learning Center is remaining open from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. All of CBC’s buildings continue to remain closed on weekdays to Non-staff. Thank you for your patience and understanding.  

Continue to pray for the growing numbers of people and families impacted by the coronavirus, strength and health for our healthcare and first responder workers, insight for medical researchers, wisdom for our officials, and for your church staff and fellow believers.
