Help for navigating the digital future

REACH resources

So much of the digital landscape of ministry is still unscripted. REACH Resources provides free virtual training to provide energy and creativity.

We’re a full year into helping nurture our churches during a pandemic. We have steered through two Easters, one Christmas, and countless other online worship services. Not to mention Zoom meetings and drive-through events. Who knew how we would sweat over delivering sermons to a camera, and maintaining viewership and discipleship, all while fending off massive burnout?

Even now, so much of the digital landscape before us is unscripted.

In April, May, and June, REACH Resources is hoping to help by offering three free online webinars. The hour-long webinars will spotlight forward-living churches that have created spiritual excitement and growth through digital worship and discipleship. Their secret? Developing a solid, knowledgeable digital team that provides creativity, expertise, energy, and even fearless critique, when necessary.
