Ready or not, church on-demand is here.
What do I mean by this? There are more and more churches who are doing church online, which in turn means there are more and more opportunities for people to hear God's Word. I believe this is the most important piece of it. If you are doing Church online, are people hearing the Gospel and are people given a chance to respond to this? If not, why do you do Church Online?
With web 2.0 possibilities I believe the Church can reach more and more people. One major question I have is, how do you keep your church local while also taking it global? I think this is something that is learned on the go. I am not sure there is a generic right answer for all. It's something that I think each church is going to have to figure out on there own.
Anyways, I love the Church presence online and what it can accomplish. I can't wait for the day when youth services are broadcasted online. I think this is something our youth can enjoy, but I think it has to look different than Church Online looks for adults. I would love to sit down with some youth pastors and talk this through. What does Church Online for Youth look like? How do you draw youth to it? I have so many questions and so few answers. I feel many blog posts coming on about youth and Church Online. Who wants to tackle this with me?
This would be a great job. So, if you are looking to do youth online I would love to talk about it.
In what ways are you taking care of your online community the same way you are taking care of your offline community? Obviously some things can't crossover to the other, but there are definitely things that do. What are those that do?
I love the church, absolutely love it. I could sit down with you and talk ministry all day. Whether it's media, youth, small groups or vision. I will not talk singles ministry with you other than to say do away with it.
Over the last 2 years I have been a chaplain for a private Christian school here in Orange County. That time is coming to an end. The last day of classes was today and finals are next week. Not only is school out for the summer it is out for good for me. I have decided not to return for another year. There are a couple reasons for this and if you want I can explain it to you if you really want to know. This was my decision. It's just time to move on. I love the students and staff and will miss them very much.
This being said, I am obviously looking for a new job. A job in ministry. Whether it's in the Church or a non-profit or a para church organization I am searching and praying for what is next.
If you want to pray for me that would be awesome. If you know of anything, especially in Southern California, please let me know.
My resume is to the right if you want to download it.
Thanks for listening and thanks for hanging in there with me over the last 2 months of no blogging.
I took a couple months off from blogging. It was nice. It allowed me to read more and and not worry about coming up with a post. Well, that hiatus is over.
