It’s never fun to realize that there were things that you thought were working, actually weren’t working. The recent pandemic exposed weaknesses and brought out realizations amongst churches and church leaders all over the world.

Some churches have reported that engagement in their online services has decreased over the past few weeks. We all want as many people engaging with us as often as possible. Here are five ways to increase online engagement.

Many of us pastors have a “Sunday to Sunday” mentality. We prepare all week for the one hour (approximately) in the week. The problem is, there are 167 more hours in the week and your congregation is engaging many of them online through social media.

Many of our churches have moved to having their services online and have discovered that many non-believers have begun to watch their church online. These are people who may have no connection to church or any Christian spiritual understanding.

What would it look like if week after week you presented the gospel and invited people to respond?

You can do this on Sundays, in Children’s Programs, Youth and Young Adults and any other time.

“You must love the people you’re speaking to.”
Print that out and tape it to your desk.  Nothing, literally nothing, will have a greater impact on the power of your preaching than that.
