How to start an online church or ministry
Start with one home online that people can always find, a weekly rhythm (a live service, a prayer meeting, a daily word), a way to give, and a way to care for people: prayer requests and follow-up. You don't need a studio: a phone is enough to begin.
A simple plan
- A home: your website with meeting times, the word and Give. Create one in a minute.
- A rhythm: one live service and one prayer meeting a week, at fixed times, plus a daily word.
- Live, light on data: broadcast audio so everyone can follow.
- Giving: tithes and partnership online from day one.
- Care: prayer requests and new believers followed up within the hour.
Being found
Share every broadcast on WhatsApp, ask followers to turn on reminders, and list your ministry on AltarPage Live, where people look for someone praying right now.
