snow policy

Snow Policy:

If we face inclement weather on the weekend this winter season and you want to know how Central is handling it, call the Church (410-823-6145) and go to our snowline (ext. 237). We will keep this updated with cancellations and/or delays.

Our standing policy for during the week is to follow Baltimore County Schools. This means that if the schools are closed or close early all church activities are cancelled. Call your ministry leader to find out if the ministry you are participating in is making an exception.

See the separate snow policies for the CPC Preschool: Snow Closing or Delay Details and for 'the Storm' Student Ministries.

Note: The Schools-Out website offers by-subscription email notifications of closing and other event information for many schools, including Baltimore County Public Schools.
