Quick Answer

Columbia Presbyterian Church generally determines facility closures and activity delays due to inclement weather by following the schedule of Howard Community College (HCC). If HCC is closed, delayed, or dismisses early, Columbia Presbyterian Church facilities adjust accordingly. For snow events specifically on a Sunday, church staff make the decision to hold or cancel services before 7:00 AM, independent of HCC's schedule. All closure announcements are posted on the church's website front page, Facebook page, and sent to members via email.
