What is a Hybrid Church?

Churches and stores are opening back up again. Restrictions are being lifted so we can meet face-to-face…but it’s not like what it used to be. The world is changing—and it’s not going back to the familiar.

How does this shared experience affect how we do church?

How can we adapt and make this into an opportunity?

From reaching your audience through social media, encouraging virtual and live small groups, to even setting up the audiovisuals for the best impact, we’re here to guide you through all the “hows” so you can be empowered to effectively fulfill God’s mission for your church.

Yet many of the priests and Levites and heads of fathers’ households, the old men who had seen the first temple, wept with a loud voice when the foundation of this house was laid before their eyes, while many shouted aloud for joy so that the people could not distinguish the sound of the shout of joy from the sound of the weeping of the people, because the people were shouting with a loud shout, and the sound was heard far away.
Ezra 3:12–13
