The grant will fund tech equipment to expand the congregation&#8217;s virtual ministries. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Church in Drive moved online like many other churches during the pandemic. Going forward, it intends to be a hybrid congregation, integrating those joining at a distance and improving the sense of connection between those in-person and online. A hybrid model is an integral part of The Church in Drive\u2019s strategy to plant new college ministries (and from them, new churches) across Michigan. Grant funds will support the purchase of updated audio visual equipment and a CCLI license. The church requested and received a waiver of the matching fund requirement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.churchindrive.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"354\" src=\"https:\/\/www.brethren.org\/church\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/37\/2021\/06\/church-in-drive.jpg\" alt=\"Church in Drive showing city\" class=\"wp-image-2970\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.brethren.org\/church\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/37\/2021\/06\/church-in-drive.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.brethren.org\/church\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/37\/2021\/06\/church-in-drive-300x177.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.brethren.org\/church\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/37\/2021\/06\/church-in-drive-560x330.jpg 560w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>The Church in Drive<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Church in Drive received a grant to fund the expansion of the congregation&#8217;s virtual ministries<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":2970,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[71,70,73,72],"class_list":["post-2969","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-michigan","tag-16-167","tag-church-in-drive","tag-hybrid","tag-michigan"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.brethren.org\/church\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2969","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.brethren.org\/church\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.brethren.org\/church\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.brethren.org\/church\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.brethren.org\/church\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2969"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.brethren.org\/church\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2969\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.brethren.org\/church\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2970"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.brethren.org\/church\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2969"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.brethren.org\/church\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2969"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.brethren.org\/church\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2969"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
