(ChurchLeaders) Redeemer Presbyterian Church in New York City, which was founded by Tim Keller and pastored by him until his retirement in 2017, has instituted a vaccination requirement for those wanting to sit on the first floor of the auditorium at its downtown campus during Sunday morning worship services.
This requirement has only been instituted at the downtown campus, where Rev. Jeff White serves as the church’s interim lead pastor. Each Redeemer Presbyterian campus has its own set of guidelines outlined on its respective website.
According to the downtown church’s website, “Individuals who are fully vaccinated (two weeks have elapsed since your final dose or single-shot dose) will be allowed to sit on the first floor of the auditorium without social distancing and masks will be optional.”
Unvaccinated children under the age of 16 are allowed to accompany their vaccinated parent, but Redeemer is asking that they wear masks.
