Menerapkan Kelompok Sel Virtual di Masa Pandemi Covid-19

Abstract

Cell groups are important services in church service because they can have implications for the spiritual growth of the congregation. During the Covid-19 pandemic, all worship activities were restricted, including all programs and services at the local church. In order to maintain the continuity of the worship process, the worship space was created virtually through the use of video streaming technology. This article aims to show that virtual services can also be applied in groups of cells. By using literature studies, and descriptive methods, it was concluded that the Covid-19 pandemic period had virtually stimulated cell group service.
