Topic: The role of technology in church ministries after pandemic.
Purpose Statement
The study will use a qualitative research design to analyze the issue. The research data will be
gathered through email, surveys, and interviews with participants from 50 different churches.
The selection of respondents will be done rapidly, and the process will be completely voluntary.
The research will target church leaders as they have been on the receiving end of COVID-19
restrictions, which mandated the closure of churches to allow the public members to practice
social distancing to contain the spread. This move attracted a wide range of challenges for church
leaders, especially in delivering their services to followers. As a last resort, the church leaders
were forced to use technology to achieve this goal which makes them a suitable target population
as technology affected their operations to a great extent. The study will use independent and
dependent variables where the church ministries will be the dependent variable while technology
influence will be used as the independent variable.
The study outcomes will majorly influence the educational theory in that it will provide
substantial evidence of technology’s impacts on the church ministries during the pandemic.
These impacts will play a major role in determining how the church ministries will input
measures to cope with the new norm during the post-pandemic era. Also, the outcomes will
provide insights into strategies that the church ministries can reinforce to experience sustainable
growth in the future by establishing a buffer that they can rely on in case such events reoccur.
Lastly, the study outcomes will provide directions for future research to ensure that the issue is
tackled extensively
