Surviving COVID

2020-2022 | FAITH BAPTIST CHURCH

During most of 2020 churches across the world grappled with how to best serve their congregations and community during the COVID-19 pandemic. Starting in early March our church quickly shifted to operate virtually through Facebook Live worship and Bible study, Zoom small groups, and increased social media engagement. We also created several virtual fellowship events like a baking competition and a talent show. This helped us maintain connection to our faith and community while being physically apart. During the Summer, as physical distancing guidelines relaxed we created an alternative outdoor evening service that allowed us to continue our strong virtual presence while gathering safely in person.

We continued this creativity and flexibility over the next few years to continue growing closer to God and each other while staying safe. We held virtual Winter Olympics, hybrid classes, summer fun days, and creative worship services while producing comprehensive COVID response plans.
