Digital Sanctuaries: A Dataset of American Christian Engagement with Virtual Discipleship During the COVID-19 Pandemic

This dataset contains survey responses from 150 American Christians regarding their engagement with religious communities before, during, and after the COVID-19 pandemic. The study focuses on the adoption of digital tools (Zoom, Livestreaming, Apps) for discipleship and the perceived efficacy of online versus physical community support. Data was collected to analyze the shift toward "hybrid" religious practice and the limitations of virtual communion in high-context social groups.
