Livestreaming Church Services
In the current climate, livestreamed church services are on the increase. If you're seeking advice in making this a possibility for your church we have an experienced team with a wealth of knowledge who are ready to hear from you. They are there to guide you in making the most of the opportunity to 'go live' online and reach more people beyond those attending services in person.
Email communications@irishmethodist.org to be introduced to one of our team members.
