Digital ministry is more than just streaming—it’s a powerful tool for real discipleship throughout the week. With the average churchgoer attending a little more than once a month, there’s an incredible opportunity to engage people beyond Sunday services. How can churches overcome the stigma that online ministry is “fake” and creatively reach people in meaningful ways?

In this webinar, we’ll explore how to build a digital strategy that aligns with your mission and extends beyond your church walls. Jay Kranda, Online Community Pastor at Saddleback Church, will share proven insights on how to creatively disciple people online with intentionality and purpose. Learn how to take advantage of this cultural reality and move beyond just streaming to hybrid disciple-making!
