How to re-open your church in the midst of social distancing
Churches and religious organizations all over the world are facing challenges to re-opening their doors during the decline of the COVID-19 outbreak.
How do you do this safely?
Gathering restrictions have put caps on the number of people that can safely gather at one time. Gatherings of 50 or more people are still prohibited in a lot of states across the US. This means churches need capacity control measures and social distancing guidelines to safely resume church services in person.
Implementing a ticketing system and allowing your congregation to tune in online can solve all of these problems!
Church Ticketing is the simple solution to safely resume in-person religious services
How it can work for your congregation:
Start by setting up a custom event page with Eventgroove in 15 minutes.
Customize your event hub page for your place of worship (add images, logos, and detailed info about the services you offer each week) and share with your congregation.
Attendees can log on and reserve their seats, or register for the virtual live stream for whichever service they want.
Tickets will stop being available once the service has reached max capacity.
