During the health crisis, social distancing, and stay-at-home orders, many churches shifted to online ministry. When things return to normal, churches should continue and grow those online ministries.
I discuss four reasons why churches should continue and grow their virtual ministry online, and provide resources to help churches improve their ministry online. The reasons are:
1. The church's congregation has grown
2. People now expect services to be online
3. Online ministry is vital to future growth
4. Online ministry can be cost-effective
I begin by showing how the local church's reach now includes a global audience, which I call the "online congregation." I then explain how, after weeks and months of participating in online ministry, people expect it to continue (it's part of the "new norm"). Next, I outline how the younger people are connected to their online technology, so growing a church means reaching then through that technology. Finally, I mention various free and low-cost resources to implement and grow an online ministry (links below).
