Becoming a Hybrid Church
Author Dave Daubert and I discuss his new book, Becoming a Hybrid Church. I highly recommended it as a tool, not so much for easy answers (are there any?) but for engagement in congregation councils and planning groups. It’s one of those nice thin books that are readable in a short stint.
If you are interested, you can listen to my conversation with Dave. Just click here.
“The COVID-19 pandemic brought almost instant changes to every aspect of the church's ministry. Now, as we adjust to this new reality, every congregation will need to find ways to continue on-the-ground ministry while also finding ways to use the online world in new and creative ways. Using an adaptive framework to start reflecting on these changes, the book’s concise chapters cover a variety of congregational ministries (worship, servanthood, congregational care, stewardship, spiritual formation, and more) that are enhanced when congregations include online ministry in addition to working in more traditional ways. Each chapter includes a closing section with scripture, questions for reflection and prayer that make it the perfect book for small groups, leadership teams, and anyone who wants to think about what the next chapter looks like in the congregation where they are.”
