What could an Online Family Ministry Gathering look like?

Church Online is a fantastic tool to use to help reach people for Christ. However, most of the programming for Online Church is geared towards adults only. There isn’t a ton available to reach families and children. What would it look like to have an online family ministry gathering?  That is why Jeff Reed and Bobby Shaw are joining me today.

Jeff is a former Online Pastor who now leads up The Church Digital. The Church Digital gives you great support and help in using technology better so you can reach more people for Christ. Bobby is the Student Creative Pastor in Austin, TX but has a history with Children’s Ministry.

So today, Jeff, Bobby and I talk about what has worked in the past, what didn’t work and what are some ideas for the future of doing family ministry online.
