How Our Church Thrived Through Closures and Went Virtual We talk witnessing churches closing and having to combine, but for us it was a blessing as we were able to pay off our church in 17 months instead of 7 years. By going live, we were able to reach more people who became our virtual worshippers and guests, and now we see people traveling distances to attend our reopened ministry. #ChurchClosures #ChurchCombinations #ChurchFinances #VirtualWorship #MinistryGrowth
