What the Bible Says About Online vs. In-Person Church

The COVID-19 pandemic caused many churches to pause in-person meetings and stream their services online. With the pandemic behind us, many churches continue hosting services in person and online.

With the option to either attend in-person or watch church online, it begs the question: is it okay for Christians to choose to only “go to church” online?

To answer this question, we welcomed special guest Tim Hawman, the lead pastor at Emmanuel Baptist Church, onto the Prepared to Answer podcast. Tim lays out the biblical principles that will help answer the question of whether or not it is necessary to physically attend church.
