Rethinking Social Action After Covid-19

How can churches maximise opportunities to engage their communities? 

The church is at a crossroads. The pandemic has forced us all to rethink what church is all about. In turn, the way we interact with our own congregations and wider communities has also altered. 

People have seen God’s love in action as churches have found creative ways to serve their communities. Access to online services has also led to an explosion in interest in church. 

As we come out of lockdown – how can we continue to build on the positive relationships and impact our communities?
