FEIC Member Churches Thrive During COVID-19 Lockdown
More than a year ago, the COVID-19 virus presented in northern Italy and spread throughout Europe in a matter of weeks.
What many thought would be temporary national lockdowns became the norm. Some countries have stayed in some form of lockdown the entire year while others have moved in and out of lockdown restrictions depending on the number of COVID-19 cases recorded.
The lockdowns severely restricted many churches from meeting in person. Some churches haven’t met in person since the lockdowns began. Others have met on occasion and others have met under strict occupancy limitations.
We interviewed a number of FEIC member pastors a year ago about the struggles they were encountering. No one had any idea that the pandemic would last for so long and that the church would be in continual crisis mode for so long.
One year later, we revisit these same pastors and they share with us their lockdown highs and lows and what they’ve learned.
