Our church is small and normally has about 65-70 persons in attendance any given Sabbath.

We have not yet discussed the matter of OC in Church but the Church Board will take it up soon. We always solicit the thoughts of the congregation on at least two separate gatherings and take their response into consideration. Ultimately the Pastor, Elders and Church Board members (after praying for guidance) will come to a decision.

Concealed Carry has been both allowed and encouraged for at least the last 10 years and more than a few members are armed each time we gather to worship. This is common knowledge among the congregation and has been well accepted.

My expectation is that NO 30.07 signs will be posted. Open Carry in the Sanctuary will be discouraged and those whose enter will be politely informed of our policy followed by a 'request' that they conceal. No such requests will be made outside of the Sanctuary or at off premises Church Sponsored Events.

I will report back....what actually develops, but the above will be my suggestion and I expect to see good support for it.
