Ben Anderson, associate pastor at Lima Baptist Temple, helps with the livestreaming and online programming now offered at the church. Many churches have had to improve their technology skills to reach their members during the pandemic and continue outreach.

The Rev. Rick Friebel celebrates Easter Mass on April 12, 2020, at SS. Peter and Paul Catholic Church, Ottawa. In the early days of the pandemic, the church used a laptop computer to stream services over Facebook Live. The church has upgraded its equipment since then, moving to a more powerful camera that zooms and pans from the back of the church that doesn’t leave electronic equipment near the altar.
