Reasons for Having a Church Streaming Service

People often wonder why having a church streaming service is helpful. It is understandable that some audiences may be hesitant to make the switch from in-person church to having an online church service. However, there are many churches that have successfully either made the switch or include a virtual option. Here are a few of many reasons why you should have a church streaming service.

2. Building Community:

Serving those at home: For various reasons, sometimes people cannot leave their home to attend an in-person church service. But, if a church streaming service is offered, the homebound can easily attend and participate. 

Welcoming Fringe congregants: Joining any community can be nerve-wracking. Committing to a church can be challenging, but what if there was a way to get a feel for a church without going to the building?
