In light of the evolving outbreak, we are closely monitoring the situation and are committed to keeping you updated on the precautionary measures we are taking as a church.
Last updated on March 25, 2020
1. Worship Experience Online
In keeping in close adherence to MOH's advisory, ILC first decentralized its Worship Experience on March 7, and has continued to implement social distancing measures in quick progression till today. Currently, all members are participating in Worship Experiences via livestream from homes either remotely or in small groups of no more than 10 people. Besides social distancing measures, appropriate health precautionary measures are also in place and will continue to evolve closely with MOH's advisories. This arrangement will continue until further notice.
2. Enhanced Precautionary Measures for Life Groups
a) Network of Health ICs
Every Life Group has nominated their very own Health IC to ensure that the implementation of church-wide precautionary measures are taken care of, down to the life group and small group levels. Responsibilities of Health ICs include the active monitoring of their members' health and well-being, as well as the facilitation of the two way communication with the ILC Medical Advisory Team., and the adherence to the necessary precautionary measures.
b) Members' Protocol at Life Group or Small Group Sessions
It is compulsory for all members to monitor their own temperature before coming for Life Group.
Should a member display any respiratory symptoms or fever, he/she will be advised to see a doctor, monitor their own health condition and keep their Health IC informed on their progress of recovery.
All members are required to wash their hands upon entering the Life Group Venue.
All members are to ensure the proper cleaning and sanitisation of premises after every session.

4. Suspension of Activities
In line with the Ministry of Health’s advisory, we are taking additional measures to reduce large group and communal activities to safeguard our members' health and well-being.
For example, we will not be going ahead with Men Up, RVVL night and the Cambodia Mission Trip previously scheduled to take place in the months of February and March. Our Baptism service, The Dip, will also be postponed till further notice.
Additionally, we have moved our 8 weeks DNA and BMT curriculum online. For the first time, registered members are embarking on a comprehensive e-learning journey to discover the very essence of serving at ILC.
We will continue to watch the situation closely and where necessary, implement additional social distancing measures to continue to safeguard the health of our people.
