Adopting Technology in Church

I am finding a lot of people are resistant to this line of thinking. While some are eager…very eager, many are dragging their heels…NO…they are digging in their heels and saying no. I am thankful so many people at my new church are jumping in with both feet but wonder why my friends are experiencing resistance. Why would you or do you resist using technology within the scope of a churches ministry plan?

On that note. One of the things I have been debating is the effectiveness of the 3 hour membership class. Many churches use this method and have been since the purpose driven movement. One thing I have noted and discussed with others is the attrition churches have from the 101 class to the 401 class. Even the difficulty in getting people to commit to a 3 hour class is a major hinderance to many.

What we have to teach is important and the dilemma is that while people don’t like the 3 hour class, they also balk at a 10 week commitment every sunday etc. Is it possible that a solution lies within the walls of technology/internet/social media? My thoughts have been bouncing around the idea of doing some 30 minute webinars that support a one hour “This is Our Church” class.

I am curious as to your thoughts. I have always said I want to fail forward. So, I may try and see what happens. Stay tuned.
