Church Online Home Guide

Our Home Guide is here to provide you with tips, best practices, and a discussion guide to make the most of your online church experience!   You can lead and pastor your home by creating healthy habits when you take part.

These ideas may vary depending on your home dynamic. This is meant to be a helpful guide so you can get the most out of your time at home. Prepare, Participate, Process.

Share the time you are watching church online with friends.

Create a distraction-free environment.
