The Post-Quarantine Church

Thom Rainer, Founder and CEO of Church Answers, shares where he sees opportunities for the church to stay on mission post-coronavirus, including:

This is not a time to panic. We should be concerned, but the church has historically been through a lot of difficult times. It is a new missiological opportunity for the church.
Our Western churches have primarily been vertical, meaning that they’ve grown through large mega churches. Now, we’re seeing more horizontal growth where there’s multi venues, and maybe even micro-sites now.
Some churches have found that during quarantine, the church members have connected with community members better than they had before the pandemic.
It’s a great time to rethink and re-engineer. This is an opportunity to make the necessary changes that you should have pre-pandemic.
