As the world rapidly evolves, so does our understanding and use of technology. For many churches this has led to a steep learning curve as we try to incorporate digital tools into how we share the gospel message with others.  While it may be tempting in times like these to remain hesitant or fearful about taking that leap, now is actually an opportune time for churches — especially those who have been slow on technology uptake — to embrace digital ministry in order to reach a wider audience than ever before.

We know there are still uncertainties around what kind of impact incorporating tech will have on church structures, services and culture – no one can predict exactly where all these changes might lead us! But rather than fear change itself (which really should always come with some level of healthy caution), let’s focus instead on embracing innovation within our ministries while keeping sight of what truly matters: connecting people more deeply with God through Jesus Christ, regardless if virtual or physical space creates barriers between them.
