Only if you think it's bad. and if you don't pledge. Churches need money, like any other business.

if you are staying home, you are not "going to church."

Better than nothing! Our church does two services online each week and has dozens of people who consider themselves part of the church but only attend online.

A lot of people attend online! Our church has a chat feature so you can interact with others watching online. I do this when I am sick.

Plus one. Folks can attend Bible studies, book clubs and sometimes support groups online at our church.

I much prefer going in person and seeing people but it is no problem for people who prefer to attend online.

Online church is great for families with neurodiverse children who aren’t served by the in-person experience.

To me, it’s no different than people who watch the mega churches on TV.

It might make you feel good, but it’s not a substitute for attending in person and building a community with like-minded people. We were created to be relational beings - nothing about church online is relational. Not even a chat box.

Praising God is more important than socializing

And people at church are not thrilled to put up with your neurodiverse kids.

I love church online. My elderly parent can only go to church this way and it makes him feel part of the community. I find it convenient. I can watch multiple services.
Anyway, I’m a huge fan.

It’s fine. As long as you donate they don’t care. Most people go for social connections.

Almost every church i know streams their services live. I prefer church this way. I don't want to shake strangers hands even before covid.

My church invested in the tech needed to make a hybrid experience possible. It is great for all kinds of reasons (members too old, traveling, tied down with kids or illnesses, etc).
