FCC McKinney COVID-19 Preparedness Team

First Christian Church of McKinney is committed to the health and safety of our members and the outside community. In order to carefully discern our next steps in responding to the COVID-19 pandemic, we’ve created a COVID Preparedness Team. As we begin to open the building for various activities, we have created a covenantal agreement for the safety of our church and the building. We acknowledge our social responsibility and will continue to worship in a digital capacity at this time. However, we have agreed to the allowance of internal small groups of members following a covenant of safety. If there are any questions, they will be able to contact the church office or a member of the team.

Co-Chairs: Byron Magruder, RN and Allen Knight

Committee Members: Brian White, Sharon Gotcher, Karla Chunn, Stacy Edwards, Ex Officio Members Rev. Peter Mitchell, Rev. Katherine Wright
