PRINCETON — For the past 21 years, Southside Baptist has hosted Judgement House. However, the production has been canceled this year because of COVID-19. The drama is staged over a seven-day period and draws more than 2,000 people. “This was a tough call to make because Judgement House is an incredibly important ministry for Southside and one of our favorite ways to celebrate lives being eternally changed,” said Pastor Kyle Noff­ singer. “With current state regulations,
we felt the need to protect the health and safety of our guests, actors, counselors and volunteers. We explored other ways to have Judgement House, either by in-person or by video. It didn’t feel right to have Judgement House in either of these formats given
the circumstances.” Instead, the church is planning a combination of locally-hosted events, videos and streamed content as a Judgement House replacement.
