Your vision of your online church needs to be dependent on your local church. They are linked, and the more they're unlinked, the more likely it won't work. You are not driving the bus of your church's vision. Alignment will build trust, which down the road will allow you to try more things.

I do want to back up to a 30,000-foot view. There are three approaches for online church or expressing your church’s paradigm using the internet. Your church should consider all three strategies when making decisions from investing in a social media presence or why to launch a stream on Facebook. It all needs to connect to your church’s goals, and high-level conversations with leadership need to happen for success to clearly be defined.
