In a bombshell announcement just days before Easter, one of America’s most influential churches says goodbye to online worship services forever. Bridgetown Church’s lead pastor reveals they’re canceling their livestream to realign with their vision for authentic community and spiritual health.
This seismic shift has set the church world ablaze! Was streaming a pandemic-era necessity that has outstayed its welcome? Or is removing this vital digital outreach a regressive mistake in our hyper-connected age?
Dive into the full story for fascinating insights into Bridgetown’s bold reasoning behind ditching the livestream. From combatting “hurry sickness” to reclaiming sacred in-person connections, this move seems to be a rallying cry against the relentless encroachment of virtual living.
But the shockwaves extend far beyond this trendsetting congregation. Ahead, you’ll unpack the complex debate now raging across churches big and small. Is online engagement an essential service or a community-corrosive crutch? Where does the future of ministry lie – in slick production value or grassroots gathered worship?
No matter which side you take, this is one controversy that will reshape how we “do church” for years to come.
