Since the pandemic, many Churches have created an online presence for worship. The idea was to provide an online worship service for members of the congregation and visitors. It worked! Staff soon got used to prerecording video segments, maybe even the sermon. The audience attended online, staying safe in their homes.

Now many Churches are going back to in person worship services. Perhaps there are some policies about socially distancing and/or wearing masks, but the worship service is no longer an empty room with a camera. However, what do you do with the online service? Some Churches are choosing to keep it, resulting in a Split Church.

Some Churches have always broadcast their worship services, either on TV or radio. Back in the 1970s, it took a signal feed to the local station. Or perhaps the service was recorded on videotape and hand delivered to the station for later broadcast. I’ve done both. Now it is easy to have both in person and online worship services for Churches large and small. All it takes is a Technical Ministry team that knows how to do it. It means that your worship can now reach people, both the ones staying home for the pandemic and others around the globe. Worship is indeed praise to all the nations!
