Visiting Riverside?
Masks Still Required
Updated May 1, 2022
While proof of vaccination is no longer required as of May 1,
The Riverside Church requires all staff, tenants, guests, and visitors to wear
masks at all times. We continue to update our policy based on information from
New York City and the CDC; this webpage contains Riverside’s most current
COVID-19 safety protocols and other information. We thank you for your
cooperation.
We ask you remember that The Riverside Church is more than a
church – we host many individuals currently ineligible for vaccination, including
children of all ages via our Weekday School, Riverside Hawks, and youth
programs. We are also a gathering place for older adults and other vulnerable
populations, and the safety of our staff, tenants, visitors, and guests is our
utmost priority.
Because of this, Riverside’s Security and Building staff will
continue to remind visitors and tenants that masks must be worn at all times in
the Church unless actively consuming food or beverages. These areas include:
• Upon entering and exiting the building, and approaching the
Security Desk.
• In the Nave, South Hall, South Hall Lobby, Assembly Hall,
and Theatre.
• In all meeting rooms and classrooms.
• In all lobby areas.
• In all elevators and elevator lobbies.
• In the Mailroom.
• In all public restrooms.
• Traveling between floors while using staircases.
• ANY and ALL common areas in the building.
Thank you for your cooperation.
