Pastor Sam Adeyemi of Daystar Christian Center has said that many Christians may stop going to church after the coronavirus pandemic.

Sam Adeyemi disclosed this during an interview with the BBC Yoruba on Tuesday.

According to the clergyman, churches with a large congregation might witness a reduction in size because many people will now prefer to stream services online.

He said “That’s an issue I have pondered upon severally because the church may not be the same again after this COVID-19 experience. As you can see, many people have been receiving messages via online broadcast from their homes. It’s no longer like before that they have to be physically present in churches”.

“Now that many have been used to worshiping God from the comfort of their rooms, will they go to church when COVID-19 is finally over? “Many Christians may also feel relaxed on Sundays when they usually go to church,” he added.

Sam Adeyemi also stated that the coronavirus pandemic has exposed churches who do not care about their members.
