virtual worship

Streamed religious service

Virtual worship is religious observance conducted through digital means rather than physical gathering—livestreamed services, video calls, or online prayer groups.

The practice expanded dramatically during the COVID-19 pandemic when in-person gatherings were restricted: Our church has continued virtual worship even after reopening.

Some congregations now offer both options permanently.
