Trinity Church in Kelowna will be hosting a live Good Friday service

Good Friday service online

Many churches around the world, including here in the Okanagan, have moved online and will be providing Easter service on a digital platform.

This Good Friday you're able to watch Trinity Church Kelowna's live service from the comfort of your home starting at 10 a.m., the service will then be archived for those who were unable to attend. 

The pastor of the church says one thing they may not be able to gather people physically, but that doesn't stop them from being digitally sociable.

"We even offer a live chat during our live stream service, so you can enter into a chat with hosts there," says Scott Lanigan, Executive Pastor for Trinity Church Kelowna. 

Having a human on the other side of the chat provides the community with the chance to know they're not alone.

"Easter is one of those markers on the calendar that is critical and so important to Christian faith that really is the epicentre of what we believe, that Jesus not only died but that he rose again," says Lanigan, who says it's important to have hope through these times. 

Lanigan says they upload all of their services on-demand on the church's YouTube page because he understands people aren't always able to attend at a certain time. 

"The opportunity for people to still attend and do it at a time more convenient for them, we found is a very high value for people."

He says several people also like to share the video with friends and family across the globe. 

"When we live streamed our Christmas Eve gathering, which we did eight of this past year, we had 15,000 people come but we had over 60 countries watching our live stream," says Lanigan. 

They also are providing the public with other services online daily. 

"We're really trying to make sure there's an opportunity for every family member to have some sort of connection in the middle of this," says Lanigan. 

You can watch the live Good Friday service on their website or download their app from the App Store or Google Play
