Purpose: The COVID-19 pandemic that began in 2020 brought with it the enforced closure of in-person services for congregations in Canada, which resulted in many of the same congregations moving to online worship services. The purpose of this study is to explore what happened with this transition, how it was received and what might be learned from this experience. In addition, this study further explored these results using some of the methodologies developed by Canadian scholar Marshall McLuhan. Finally, these learnings have been applied to developing initial guidelines for hybrid church, a combination of in-person and online services. (As cited in abstract.)
