Barred from meeting, area churches stand separated yet together

Faced with COVID-19 restrictions that prohibit in-person worship, local Christian churches and their members are calling on faith — and technology — to stay connected with one another.

Pastor Matthew Wilson of Grace Community Fellowship in Boulder said that his 40-strong congregation has remained “pretty positive” despite the separation caused by social distancing.

“Absence makes the heart grow fonder, but I’m seeing more and more that this [situation] is creating a desire to be together,” he said.
