Five years later: How did the Covid-19 pandemic impact ministry?

On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization officially declared Covid-19 a global pandemic. Within days, offices, schools and churches stopped meeting in-person and began scrambling to adapt to a new way of life — masking, social distancing, and meeting online.

The United Church of Christ joined other denominations in embarking on a five-year pandemic study, “Exploring the Pandemic Impact on Congregations.” The findings can be found at www.covidreligionresearch.org.

UCC News would like to know how the pandemic shaped your congregation — what new practices emerged and what continues to be a challenge? Share your story with Donna Jackson, UCC communications specialist at jacksond@ucc.org.
