ERLC Emergency Announcement and Cancellation Policy
​"Severe Weather Policy"

In order to ensure the safety of our members and guests Elk River Lutheran Church has developed the following policy for sharing emergency announcements and cancellations.  Announcements/Cancellations may be the result of weather, problems with the buildings, or any unforeseen situations or problems.

Emergency Announcement and Cancellation Policy
  • Elk River Lutheran Church will follow the lead of our local school district (ISD 728) when deciding to close and cancel activities.
    • When the schools are closed, the church offices will also be closed.  In conversation with Pastor Nathan*, staff will be invited to work from home, flex their schedule, or report to work as they feel comfortable.
    • When after-school and evening activities for the school district are canceled, the church will also cancel events and activities.
  • The decision to cancel weekend events and activities (including Sunday morning worship) will be made by Pastor Nathan* in consultation with the Congregation President, and staff.
  • Pastor Nathan*, in consultation with the Congregation President, and staff, will determine if/how emergency announcements that affect the life of the congregation will be shared.

*If Pastor Nathan is not available to initiate this process that responsibility goes first to Linda Nielsen and, if Linda is not available, to Jeremy Hallquist.
