How to Make the Most of Virtual Resources From Your Lee’s Summit Church

Connect With God and Grow in Your Faith on Your Schedule

Our increasingly digital world makes so much possible in our everyday lives, including our relationship with God and fellow Christians. Although you may be used to connecting with God on Sunday mornings at church, technology allows you to feed your spirit 24/7.

Many local churches have virtual resources that you can access whenever you want. These resources include:

  • Livestreamed services.
  • Video recordings of past services.
  • Audio recordings of sermons.

These digital resources are especially useful in many situations where you may not be able to attend a service in-person, allowing people anywhere in the world to connect with a church community.

How to Use a Lee’s Summit Church’s Virtual Resources

Not everyone is familiar with how to use a church’s digital resources. If you’re not as digitally capable as you’d like to be, here’s a step-by-step guide to enjoying what your local church has to offer:

  1. Visit the church’s website.
  2. Look for a link to “Watch Online,” “Stream,” or “Listen,” and click.
  3. You should see a page that offers video and audio links. These links may take you to a platform like YouTube, where you can watch videos, or Spotify, where you can listen to audio.
  4. You can also find virtual resources on your church’s Facebook page. Many churches stream services live by posting a link to an upcoming service that you can bookmark or revisit on Facebook at the time the church service starts.
  5. Some fellowships also use Church Center, an app for your phone or desktop that supports video streaming. Look for a link to download Church Center on your church’s website.
  6. Need more help? Your Lee’s Summit church will take the time to show you how to use their digital resources, much like they would show you around the church building if you visited in person. All you have to do is ask.

Why Take Advantage of a Local Church’s Videos or Livestreams?

Videos of past services or livestreams of your Lee’s Summit church’s services are particularly helpful in a wide variety of circumstances:

  1. When you’re sick or homebound: If you’re unable to attend a service in person because of a medical challenge, you can still pray, sing, and worship along with the rest of the congregation from the comfort of home.
  2. When you’re on vacation: Even if your family is on a big adventure, you can still take time to worship God and find a spiritual connection.
  3. When Sundays don’t work: Those with busy schedules may not always have their Sunday morning available for worship.
  4. When you need to feel energized: You may feel connected to God on Sunday, but by Tuesday, you may need a spiritual pick-me-up. Feel free to listen to a past church service to ground yourself during the week.
  5. When you’re curious: Want to see what a Lee’s Summit church service is all about, but you’re not ready to visit yet? Check out a service online to see what you think! There’s nothing wrong with “shopping around” online.
  6. When you need additional accessibility options: Many people with accessibility needs enjoy watching a video of their church service online because of the closed captioning feature.

Why Try a Lee’s Summit Church’s Audio Resources?

Audio resources from your local church are just as useful in many situations, including those that you may not expect. Use your church service’s podcast or audio links when:

  • You want to go deeper: Many churches offer the audio of a sermon or a podcast covering a topic that is relevant to Christians. Take your faith further by listening at your convenience.
  • You need something to listen to in the car: Turn your commute or weekend errand into an opportunity to consider your faith and relationship with God by listening to your Lee’s Summit church’s audio resources while you drive.
  • You need a prompt for your Bible study: If you get together with other Christians or spiritual seekers in a small group, you can experience audio from your local church together to get the conversation started.
  • You need a spiritual boost while you exercise: Whether you’re working out, going for a walk or a jog, or moving in your own way, consider listening to a church’s audio resources as a way to enhance your spiritual self along with your body.
