Too busy for church? Churches offer some online remedies
Dallas residents Lincoln and Natalie Redmon spent two years bouncing from church to church. After marrying and moving to the city, they just couldn’t find the right fit. So late last year Lincoln Redmon wrote down a goal: “Find a home church or have God answer that prayer in a different way.”
Two days later, he saw an Instagram post from Judah Smith, lead pastor of the northwestern multisite ministry Churchome. “We have a new location,” he said in a video post. “And that location is everywhere.” Smith announced Churchome’s new app, bringing pulpits and pews into pockets and palms.
The Redmons logged on. Soon, they started a local watch group—now with almost 60 members. Every Sunday, about 25 people visit their house and live-stream a service together.
