686 | What’s Brewing | LIVE EVENT - Hybrid Ministry: Connecting People Beyond the Building

For some, technology is a curse.  But, for the church in a changing world, it has been a blessing. The reality is that there are those who cannot or will not enter a church building, but that doesn’t mean they don’t want to belong to a loving community.  One of the ways we meet that need is through hybrid ministry. It’s more than streaming. It’s real life, two-way connection that brings people together in meaningful ways. Join co-hosts Kelly Phipps and Blake Smith as well as panelists, James Clark, Carla Long, and Jude Vickery for a look at the types of hybrid ministry models that are finding a place across the church thanks to technology. NOTE: This episode was recorded as part of a live event that took place online on February 5th, 2024.
