Digital ministry is not just for large, urban (or suburban) churches. All churches have a calling to occupy digital space, in a sense. And this is because such a large portion of our population spends significant time in digital space.

But it’s definitely easier for large churches with multi-person staffs to engage in digital ministry. There are peculiar challenges for small churches and rural ministries when it comes to digital ministry. 

Charlotte Elia knows all about these peculiar challenges since she’s been forced to navigate them. And it just so happens that she is our adjunct professor on this session of Pastoring in the Digital Parish.

Charlotte Elia is an elder in the Presbyterian Church (USA) and has served congregations as a pastor, educator, and music director. She currently hosts The Heavenly Banquet podcast AND the How We Do Digital Ministry podcast.
