Online churches are internet-based Christian communities, pursuing worship, discussion, friendship, support, proselytization, and other key religious goals through computer-mediated communication. Hundreds of thousands of people are now involved with online congregations, generating new kinds of ritual, leadership, and community and new networks of global influence. Creating Church Online constructs a rich ethnographic account of the diverse cultures of online churches, from virtual worlds to video streams. This book also outlines the history of online churchgoing, from its origins in the 1980s to the present day, and traces the major themes of academic and Christian debate around this topic. Applying some of the leading current theories in the study of religion, media and culture to this data, Tim Hutchings proposes a new model of religious design in contexts of mediatization, and draws attention to digital networks, transformative third spaces and terrains of existential vulnerability. Creating Church Online advances our understanding of the significance and impact of digital media in the religious and social lives of its users, in search of new theoretical frameworks for digital religion.

In the Early Church, people came together daily in houses. Today, people are coming together on social media. We cannot afford to miss the enormous opportunity to reach the "crowd" that exists online for God's kingdom. Social networks have become the front door to faith for those who will not or cannot attend a brick-and-mortar church. And for those in your church already living out their faith, online groups expand their opportunity for daily discipleship, service to others, communal prayer, and building deep personal connections. Widening the scope of your church to include the 24/7 online community creates both a great potential for ministry and significant challenges. Through the guidance and straightforward tips offered in Online Jesus, you can efficiently and effectively utilize social media to enhance your ability to serve God and love others in your community and beyond.

How does a church go from just being online to being an online ministry? How can I get my church to see the value of spending money on becoming an online ministry? How to explain to Church Leadership/Clergy what content works best for the medium versus what they think or want to post? How do I convince my church leadership that a Social Media ministry is necessary, not dangerous? How will the Post-Pandemic church do both in-person and online ministry? If you are a church leader, some of these questions likely keep you up at night. So rather than read articles that only give you quick fixes and quick tips, this book chronicles Dr. Quick's pre-pandemic doctoral dissertation case study, shares his experience as a digital pastor responding to the pandemic, and offers his insightful quick takes after each chapter. This book provides fundamentals for creating an effective Social Media ministry for outreach and proven strategies for implementing a Social Media ministry by offering precise and definitive information on the pros and cons of having a Social Media ministry. After reading this book, the author's prayer is you will have a better understanding of Social Media ministry, and you will come away equipped and confident in sharing the "Good News" of Jesus Christ online.

Religion Online provides new insights about religiosity in a contemporary context, offering a comprehensive look at the intersection of digital media, faith communities, and practices of all sorts. Recent research on Apple users, video games, virtual worlds, artificial intelligence, digital music, and sports as religion supports the idea that media and religion, once considered separate entities, are in many cases the same thing. New media and religious practice can no longer be detached; this two-volume set discusses how religionists are embracing the Internet amidst cultural shifts of secularization, autonomous religious worship, millennials' affinity for new media, and the rise of fundamentalism in the global south. While other works describe case studies, this book explains how new media are interwoven into the very fabric of religious belief, behavior, and community. Chapters break down the past, present, and projected future of the use of digital media in relation to faith traditions of many varieties, extending from mainline Christianity to new religious movements. The book also examines the impacts of digital media on beliefs and practices around the world. In exploring these subjects, it calls on the study of culture, namely anthropology, to conceptualize a technological period as significant as the industrial revolution.

His passion for helping churches led him to start and lead the Web-Empowered Church, a ministry of The Foundation for Evangelism, to develop free web-ministry software for churches and ministries worldwide.
