Challenges & Opportunities of Digital Ministry
What challenges are you facing in using technology well in your ministry?
On Tuesday, June 25, gather on Zoom to discuss the main challenges and barriers we face in employing technology in the work of ministry. We will reflect and bring our questions together to gain clarity on faithful and authentic digital ministry.
What difficulties or challenges are you facing in your digital ministry?
Whom do you wish to reach in your efforts?
Is this worth the effort?
These and other questions will help us examine the most important challenges and opportunities in digital ministry today. If you're responsible for your church's technology, this brief conversation is for you.
The American Baptist Churches of Wisconsin are holding this offering in anticipation of their Palmer grant-funded conference "Inclusive Hybrid Ministry," to be held in Madison, August 16-17.
