How Small Groups Bring Connection to the Post-Pandemic Church
After this past year, connecting with our faith communities is more important than ever. But &ndash; also because of this last year &ndash; our gathering together may look different than ever before. As leaders prepare and plan for people returning to church, there are many questions, such as:
Who will return and who will stay home? How do we stay connected with everyone?
What digital communities do we want to keep and nurture? What resources will that require?
How do we grow relationships with the new people who found us online this past year?
What resources will both our congregants and our leaders need?
After this past year, what do people expect from churches?
Join United Methodist Publishing House in this new webinar series as pastors, small-group leaders, and digital experts discuss how church leaders can help their congregations and communities continue to grow spiritually, whether online or in person.
