Digital Ministry has been an aspect of evangelism for decades, but the COVID-19 pandemic pushed us to rely on technology and expand our commitment to its use. We have learned so much, so fast! Now, we have a time of transition. We can take a breath and wonder a bit about what this leap means for us. Who are we now? Where is God leading the Church? Who is being called to Digital Ministry in our congregations? How can we support one another as the change forced by global tragedy becomes a permanent part of being Church now?
