Digital Parish: Digital Ministry in the Small and Rural Church

United Methodist Communications, TN, October 5, 2022

Description

This podcast helps congregational leaders in small and rural congregations navigate the challenges of digital ministry. Congregations are called to engage in digital spaces where much of today's population spends significant time. However, small and rural congregations face unique challenges in navigating digital ministry, especially without the multi-person staff that larger congregations often rely on.

In this episode of Pastoring in the Digital Parish, Charlotte Elia shares her firsthand experience overcoming the hurdles of digital ministry in small and rural settings. As an elder in the Presbyterian Church (USA) and a podcast host, Elia offers valuable insights into how smaller congregations can effectively engage in digital spaces.
