This article asks how COVID-19 has shaped the Estonian churches, how it might affect their future development and what implications has it brought for the planting of new free churches. Hypermodern times are changing society in its perception of spirituality and maturity of faith. History of Christianity – including the history of Estonian free church movement– shows how vital are discipleship and fellowship within churches for following Jesus and embodying missional relationships. Estonian denominational leaders have noted both strengths and weaknesses that have emerged in their churches during the COVID-19 crisis. In the future of Estonian free church planting both authentic relationships of smaller communities of faith and digital capabilities seem to become crucial for the missionally sustainable church-life
