How Hybrid Student Ministry Works in a Post-Covid World

Written by Tom Pounder | Sep 29, 2022 10:00:00 AM

 

Taylor Terpstra has been doing Online Youth Ministry for the past 2 years. In fact, he is the Online Youth Lead at Sandals Church in California. To my knowledge, he is still the only Online ONLY Student Minister. 

Today we talk about how his ministry has evolved over the past year as it has gone from Online ONLY to more of a Hybrid Student Ministry position.
