All states and local governments are handling the end of quarantine differently, though most are opting for a 4 Phase approach. This phased end to quarantine means that some of you are out and about and others are still in isolation. Either way, it’s important to learn from this experience. For us, we see 5 key learnings from quarantine that you will want to take with you into the future.
Live-Stream Worship Service After Quarantine Ends
It is also important to remember the most vulnerable of our population. Most of the phased return from quarantine plans keep those at highest risk quarantined for a much longer period of time. Keep bringing church to those who need to stay at home.
Stellar Online Communication
Your congregants have now experienced what it is like to connect with you virtually. There is no turning back. And isn’t that what you’ve always wanted. That the experience of church isn’t something you do on Sunday morning, but it reaches into every aspect of your life. Keep it going!
Congregant Based Wellness Checks
Outside the Box Thinking
First, just take a moment and look at all of the big changes you have made to continue to serve your congregation during this time. That was no small task. You got creative, took risks, and made it work.
Hold on to the essence of those changes. Instead of tightly grasping to the only way you’ve been doing something for years, you tried something new. Maybe it worked perfectly! Maybe it didn’t. Either way, you worked to meet the needs of your community at this moment. Greet every situation (new or old) with fresh eyes and continue to think outside the box after quarantine ends.
Flexibility
Like Outside the Box Thinking, flexibility is a core value and not necessarily a tangible action. When live-streaming didn’t go quite as planned, you recorded and posted it later. After the chat function misfired, you tweaked platforms for the next go. Life isn’t perfect. Neither is technology. And still, you persisted. You were flexible. You found a way to reach your congregation when they needed to feel the experience of being a community despite social distancing.
Flexibility is something you must bring out of quarantine. It will strengthen your ministry.
