Inclement Weather
As the Upstate prepares for possible winter weather, we want to remind you of our inclement weather policy and procedures.

If it becomes necessary for ARBC to cancel any of its activities due to inclement weather, we will add the appropriate information to the list of closings through Channel 4 WYFF News. We will also post an announcement on our church website and Facebook page, as well as send out an email to the congregation. 

Unless otherwise noted, the ARBC Preschool and After School Ministries will follow the decisions made by the Greenville County School System. Should the schools be closed due to inclement weather, our campus will be closed as well. If we feel that it is safe to open, Phyllis and Mary Dell will notify the families in their ministry areas.

All decisions to cancel church activities will be made out of concern for the safety of those who may come on our campus. We will make every possible preparation to ensure the safety of our campus in weather-related events. Please use caution and your best judgment when determining whether or not it is safe for you to join us. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation during these events.
