Episode 0109: Leading Through COVID-19: Calvary Church

Senior Pastor, Willy Rice, from Calvary Church in Clearwater, Florida. We broach the topic of reopening churches amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, and what it has taken to get to this point in terms of following guidelines and navigating the new normal. We also talk about the importance of opening up the conversation around the topic of racism in America today.

Key Points From This Episode:

  • We discuss the COVID-19 precautions Calvary Church has put into place for reopening.
  • How they will be navigating singing during worship time in services.
  • How they’ll handle the aspect of Preschool and Children’s Church.
  • The plan for how to approach the reopening of their Christian School.
  • We talk about the mainstream conversation of racism in America.

With regards to the reopening of churches, I anticipate: ‘weird.’ It will not be normal, it won't be ‘back’ to normal. Click To TweetWhen we talk about normal, it’s not normal. There’s an old normal that will never come back post COVID-19. Click To TweetThe only thing that can really change a sinful heart, and racism is sinful, is Jesus — the Gospel of Jesus. People with changed hearts can work together to change a lot of things. Click To Tweet
