God is everywhere. The church is people who follow the God-man Jesus. Wherever a follower of Jesus is so is the church. The Bible supports 1, 2, & 3. You can hold to the best expression argument of #ChurchOnline, but you can't discredit what is possible.

I was stuck in a room this past week with some ministry experts, tons of stationary time, and a notebook. I started to doodle whenever my mind got antsy. I hope the following diagrams help form what online ministry looks like for your church.

Online ministry, commonly called #CHURCHONLINE, can and should strengthen your local church(es). I talk about this approach and more on the Vanderbloemen Leadership Podcast with Holly Tate. I share two recent stories of people attending online and assimilating into our local campuses while openly discussing how a healthy online ministry is cultivate.

I was featured on the Vanderbloemen Leadership Podcast on EXPERT INSIGHTS, a series bringing together Christian leaders – from across the theological spectrum and from a variety of professions – to share their expertise on leadership topics, all through the lens of faith. It was a fun conversation where I answer different questions on the topic of digital church even being church with my friends Nils Smith and DJ Soto.

I’m excited for this new ebook called “State of the Online Church” eBook. It’s the most extensive survey of what is actually happening with online church. No opinions, but real data. I partnered with Vanderbloemen and Pushpay to conduct the survey and visualize the results.

Your church’s leadership wants to know people watching online will be cared for correctly. Those seat warmers on big boards monitoring all the vitals of the bride do care about everyone attending locally and possibly tuning in online. The barrier of embracing an online ministry usually comes down to trusting you, the online pastor or potential online pastor.
