Both/And Worship Workshop
To Be Continued

After over 18 months of doing our best to live into BOTH/AND, many churches are feeling a mixture of exhilaration and exhaustion when thinking about the continuation of hybrid worship. While many have seen their reach extended, some have begun to lose their passion and resolve for creating truly hybrid worship experiences. As in-person numbers have increased, more and more churches are asking, “can we stop doing online now?” If that’s you, don’t give up! Now is the time to re-new and re-energize your passion for BOTH/AND. It’s making a difference.This webinar will include:
• An invitation to determine your WHY for BOTH/AND worship
• 13 reasons why BOTH/AND must continue
• Answer to the “what if they don’t come back to the building” question
• How to create a BOTH/AND Think Tank at your church
• How to build an intentional chat strategy in order foster real relationships
• BOTH/AND pro tips
• Q&A
