Reforming Church for the 21st Century: Foundations for Online Ministry

Just when it seemed that the COVID-19 pandemic was waning, restrictions were easing, and churches could go back to in-person ministry and potentially discontinue online ministry, current signs indicate that the pandemic will continue and that even some restrictions could possibly return. This means that church ministries will need to reconsider their engagement with online ministry.

Reforming Church for the 21st Century: Foundations for Online Ministry offers the necessary theological rationale and theoretical framework that one would need to comprehend more fully why implementing and actively pursuing online ministry is essential in the 21st century, not just during a crisis or pandemic. Additional topics covered include strategy for the amplification of online ministry engagement, resistance and challenge migrating to online ministry, and online community and spiritual formation, among others.
