Hello Bible Chapel Family. I want to take a moment to address what I’m sure is already at the forefront of your mind, the global spread of the COVID-19 virus.
And in these changing times—aren’t you thankful—that we serve a God who never changes. He is the same yesterday, today, and forever. His Word is settled forever in heaven. He is the One who delivers confidence, courage, and peace into the depths of our souls. The prophet Isaiah lived during some unsettling times—but listen to what he wrote:
You will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on You, because he trusts in You. - Isaiah 26:3
Prayerfully, the Leadership of The Bible Chapel has decided to move our services to online-only this weekend, March 14 and 15. We invite you to join us at biblechapel.org as we continue to worship our awesome God through songs, prayer, and a message from His word. We will broadcast live on Saturday at 6:00 p.m., and Sunday at 9:00 and 10:45 a.m.
As a multigenerational church, we believe this is the best decision for our congregation. We are thankful that although we may not be able to meet in person, technology allows us to continue to worship this weekend online.
We encourage you to consider giving your offering gift online here.
All Ministry events at The Bible Chapel are canceled beginning today, March 13, 2020 through Friday, March 20, 2020.
Regarding the Relevant Parenting Conference scheduled for Saturday, March 21, we're excited to share that in lieu of a physical conference at the South Hills Campus, we will now hold the conference online through LIVE streaming. For those registered, Dave DiDonato and his team will communicate instructions for joining the conference digitally next Saturday including receiving the resource packet included with the conference.

03.12.20 // Coronavirus (COVID-19) Communication
The Bible Chapel is staying up-to-date with the progress of the COVID-19 virus around the world and in our community. As of today, there are two cases confirmed in the Volusia County/Central Florida area and both are on home quarantine.
As a result, we are continuing to operate under normal conditions, but are closely monitoring the situation through the media along with our local and state health department and will make any announcements about scheduling changes through social media, realm, and this web page.
To help provide a safe environment for all those at The Bible Chapel, we have taken the following actions:
- We are suspending our Meet and Greet time during our weekend services beginning this week so that people are not at risk to shake hands out of habit.
- We are notifying our cleaning team to step up disinfection procedures during our regular and thorough cleaning routine, focusing on touchpoints like door handles, railings, and light switches.
- Offering: Beginning this weekend, we will not pass the offering containers. There are donation receptacles located at each entrance. We also encourage you to consider giving your offering gift online.
- Communion: Temporarily, we are evaluating and adjusting our Communion distribution process at our campus.
- If you have a compromised immune system or have possibly have been exposed, but wish to worship with us, we will stream our local campus on Facebook at facebook.com/tbcdebary. Likewise, if the situation warrants and we cancel our local services, we will simulcast online from our main campus to our local Central Florida community.
If you are exhibiting any symptoms of the COVID-19 virus or the general flu, one of the recommendations of the Center for Disease Control is to avoid contact with large groups.
Additional information/resources:
- CDC Resources
- As with any normal flu season, follow these guidelines for keeping yourself and others healthy:
- Wash your hands regularly with soap and water (20 seconds). If soap and water are not available, use hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol.
- Cough or sneeze in a disposable Kleenex
- Eat healthy and drink lots of fluids
- Do not go to work, school, or church if you are sick
Please join TBC Leadership as we pray for discernment during this time. As always we trust God for his protection.
In Christ,
Michael Walters
Debary Campus Pastor
