The internet has without a doubt completely transformed the way we connect, not only between one another, but also between ourselves, and God. As an increasing number of Christians are turning to the internet to connect to their churches, Pastors and spiritual leaders are finding it essential to create and expand their church’s online presence.
According to a recent U.S study by Barna Group, 96% of Pastors use a computer at church and 39% of those pastors use that computer to access the internet. It is safe to say that many Pastors have to come to accept that in the 21st century, the internet is an “essential tool” for the church.
