How can we be effective when we can’t meet in a building?
We are all in completely uncharted territory, the problems we faced as church leaders two weeks ago seem relatively simple now. One of the biggest challenges we are all facing is how to be the church when we can’t physically gather? In this video I share my experience based on 15 years of doing church online. Here are the topics we will cover:
Tips for effective online services
- What if we don’t have the equipment for high end video production?
- How long should the sermon be?
- Should we film the pastor standing in an empty auditorium?
- How many worship songs should we do? Should we change our normal format?
- What should we provide for families?
