Worship from Home

"When are we going back to church?" As pastor of a congregation now meeting online because of COVID-19, I hear that question more often than any other. Yet in these past few months since we were prohibited by quarantine from meeting behind our walls we have reached more people with the message of Jesus than ever before!

No doubt it helped that at the same time our church was forced to pivot from in-person to virtual gatherings I had a role in my A.A. home-group helping us to make the same transition. Thus Worship From Home and our dream for a church without walls draws on what I've seen to be the proven success of online rooms of recovery to offer an authentic, effective spiritual experience in a virtual space.

Consequently, while we grieve the harm caused by the pandemic, we can already see the potential for a new way of life where more space is available, virtually, for everyone. This book is written in hopes that we as the church can find the courage not to "go back," not to fight the inevitable change, but to go forward as we walk boldly into this future together.
