This series is all about giving you the tools and resources to help you ask the right questions, make informed decisions, and get up and running faster than you might expect.

Deciding between pre-recording a message and streaming live can be difficult, especially if you don’t know all of your options. We review the pros and cons of both approaches and consider a hybrid approach that builds on best practices and gives us freedom to experiment.

COVID-19 Information for Ministries
COVID-19 Information for Ministries

As we face growing concerns over the spread of COVID-19, we would like to offer words of care, guidance and encouragement.

For those already affected in a number of ways including those having contracted the virus, those quarantined as a result of potential exposure, or those affected by travel restrictions, closed schools or the like, we extend our prayers. In fact, we encourage the entire Church to be in fervent and earnest prayer for one another, for our communities and the global efforts being engaged to contain the spread of the virus.

We also want to extend words of guidance for our local congregations so that you continue to take the necessary precautions to ensure the health and safety of the people in your care.
