Abstract	:	“All are welcome” church signs, banners, and marketing literature suggest churches welcome and include all, but is this completely true? Those who choose to worship remotely using the internet are often marginalized in an increasingly technological world where more and more Americans spend more and more time online. This qualitative project addresses this disconnect by evaluating the obstacles of bringing an onsite and online church community together in one “space”—where the virtual and the physical become one. Published at the height of the COVID19 pandemic with all the research and writing completed before the outbreak, this work examines how (and where) American church communities can gather as guided by our continually Creating Creator. The outcome of this project proposes that dynamic church websites can reach, welcome and include the communities surrounding existing churches, thus enabling the church to be a people far more than a place.
