Amid the COVID-19 pandemic, churches across the U.S. were shuttered, forcing them to pivot quickly and strategically to meet emerging needs. From meeting in parking lots and banks to leveraging online technologies for spiritual connection, churches stepped up to the challenge.

“COVID definitely posed challenges for the church this year,” Brian Howard, executive director of the Acts 29 church planting network, told The Christian Post. “But one thing is certain: We have, and are going to, survive.”

“We're going to get through this and we're going to continue to be the church," he stressed.
