Since the global awareness of COVID-19, Emmanuel A.M.E. Church has adhered to recommendations and guidelines from the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the Governor of North Carolina, Mr. Roy Cooper, and the A.M.E. Second Episcopal District Servant Bishop, Reverend James L. Davis. As the spread continued to increase, Emmanuel closed its physical doors, but opened its virtual doors. For all essential workers responsible for making the virtual worship possible, temperature checks are taken, masks are worn, social distancing enforced, hand sanitizer used frequently, and the sanctuary sanitized on a regular basis.
