During the last fourteen months Calvary has launched a online ministry. While other churches comparable to ours in size have hired additional staff (such as pastor for online congregation, etc.) our focus has been on equipment, infrastructure and retooling our current staff.
Calvary is unique in that we do three different worship styles on Sunday morning (other churches do only one). We do everything in two languages from worship to website to publications to videos, etc. And now we do things for in-person and for online through various platforms. So everything we do is replicated multiple times for multiple "audiences."
Our church has invested financially in this effort and our staff has gone above and beyond the call of duty to do ministry in such varied formats. We are doing more with less!
I thought it was important for you to see the reach of our online ministry. At this point we are glad people are connecting this way. We do need to answer questions about how best to shepherd and disciple this new online congregations(s).
Here's the online ministry participation report for the first quarter of 2021. This ministry is here to stay!
