High-tech churches


Theology meets technology at high-tech churches one of the latest news articles to focus on churches that employ technology into their services. While I don't agree with all the comments in the article, nor do I feel that technology is more important then the preaching of the Word of God, I do see technology as a tool that we can use to minister in our churches and be a help to our people. Uploading sermons, Bible studies you've done, outlines ,etc. on your website can be a help to folks and other pastors, missionaries as well. It's a definite must for churches to have at least a website covering their ministries. As for adding tech into services, that's up to the pastor how much and how far. I definitely think recorded messages is a must as many folks will ask for a sermon to pass onto friends and family.
I've posted part of the article for your reading pleasure!

"Spreading the gospel has gone high tech as more churches are incorporating technology into their worship service.

At Riverbend Church in West Austin, services combine preaching and production. The church has technical team for sound and lighting and a webmaster who uploads sermons to the Internet."
