The rise of online worship during the pandemic changed the way many churches connected with their congregations. With hybrid worship models now the norm, churches are navigating how to effectively engage both in-person and online attendees.
The Shift to Hybrid
A new research report highlights the significant increase in digital worship, with many churches reporting as many virtual attendees as in-person. However, churches struggle to maintain a sense of community and discipleship with those who attend online.
Best Practices for Hybrid Worship
Hybrid worship can be successful when churches intentionally engage their digital congregation. This includes online discipleship, regular communication with virtual attendees, and opportunities for digital attendees to participate fully in church life.
