Training I
Connecting Like Jesus - Online and Offline
During this pandemic, people are becoming Zoomed out and disengaging from church. We have two challenges as church communicators and leaders:
- Connecting with members/visitors/viewers to create community and fellowship online
- Connecting with the unconnected members—those who are not online
