I ran across an interesting question today: “What Would a Techno-Savvy Church Startup Look Like? Perhaps It’s Got Some Soul…” You can find the article here. We obviously live in a very different world than our parents did. Sometimes, we wonder if we are using the available technology to its fullest to help us in our quest to connect people to God and to each other. One of the things we’re realizing is that we are less of a “high tech, low touch” church and more of a “low tech, high touch” church. That is, we prefer face-to-face relationships over the latest technology when it comes to connecting people. Do you agree?
I followed the links in the article to Soul City Church. Interesting! I haven’t looked over the whole site yet, but I did find one video that I thought was great. You can watch it on YouTube. Let me know what you think!
I also saw the Soul City Church write up, too – very, very interesting and exciting, I think. Chicago is a big city – I pray that God blesses their outreach by whatever means works to reach the people there who need Christ.
Just want to say that I don’t think we should feel compelled to chose between “high tech, low touch” and “low tech, high touch”, which is an ‘either/or’ mind set. I truly believe we should employ a ‘both/and’ approach. Use the best of both outreach styles – there are people in need in both worlds.
