Every ministry has their approach. Every church does ministry a bit different. The Bible does provide a framework, but its pretty open-ended on how you do “church.” Now that doesn’t mean many are doing church wrong and few are doing it better. There is a range, but I find the common criticism of many online ministries more a reflection on American church.

Surprise! God is much bigger than America. I’ve observed great leaps in how the church in America has embraced #churchonline or online ministry over the last ten years, but some bigger jumps have happened overseas in places like the Middle East and specifically within Iran.
