After the devastating effects of Covid-19, what is the future of the Christian church?

This book presents various ways church is already functioning outside the walls of the church building and ideas for the future. Church leaders from around the UK give their views on taking church to local people, including online services. Many of the people being reached might never have entered a church building.

These leaders include worship leaders, international speakers and the head of a major annual youth event.
