COVID-19 Worship Study

About the project

The COVID-19 pandemic has created a series of difficult choices for churches. Churches want to protect their congregations physically and spiritually. This has led to a wide range of responses from churches that have affected how Christians worship together on Sundays. This COVID worship study seeks to understand how the COVID-19 pandemic has influenced corporate worship practices in Christian churches.
