What cleaning solution is used to disinfect surfaces?

The LA County Department of Public Health came to inspect our cleaning supplies and confirmed we are using an EPA approved cleaner that is effective against COVID-19. In fact, it is a Botanical blend and food-safe, meaning it is safe enough to be used on surfaces where food is prepared. 

Can I bring my own cleaning supplies to wipe off what I use/touch?

There are cleaning supplies available in each bathroom and at the check-in table, but you are welcome to wipe off the areas you touch/use on Sundays if desired.

I just returned from traveling, can I attend service?

We are encouraging our congregants to follow the guidelines set forth by the LA County Department of Public Health, which can be accessed here (updated January 18, 2022)

Has Cornerstone had any COVID outbreaks?

In January 2021 three people happened to have COVID at the same time. Cornerstone followed all LA County Public Health guidelines and protocols for reporting, contact tracing, quarantining, and cleaning. Health inspectors came to walk the campus and review our protocols and we had no violations. We were thanked for going above and beyond and for partnering with the health department in preventing the spread of COVID-19, ensuring the health and safety of our staff, members, and the community as a whole.
