Rebooting.Church: The Future Of Church - "Digital-Church" - Starts Here! (The Future Of Church Series)

WELCOME TO THE FUTURE OF CHURCH! In the past, "Church" was Analog, Physical & Local. In the future, "Church" will be Digital, Virtual & Global! To Survive, Grow & Thrive in the 21st-Century, Your Church must "Reboot" to become a "Digital-Church.Your church is now serving in the new Christian Epoch of "Digital-Church," and Rebooting.Church is the Ultimate Guide to its Digital-Transformation! Written for Church-Leaders (Clergy, Staff, & Laity), as well as for all concerned Christians, Rebooting.Church explains in layman's terms how your church can transform itself by embracing change and technology to become more relevant to more people, and especially to Millennial and Post-Millennial generations. In it, you will find out why it is critical to your church's survival to change quickly if it is to successfully serve a new Digital-World filled with Un-Churched and Under-Churched Seekers, regardless of where they may live and when they may need it most.Rebooting.Church includes the following chapters:1. Welcome to a new Christian Epoch: Digital-Church2. 21st-Century Challenges & Opportunities3. Transformation - a Core Christian Competency4. The Magic of Digital-Transformation5. Digital-Transformation Technologies6. Digital Outreach & Engagement7. Seven Steps to Building a Digital-Church8. Summary, Takeaways & Action PlanThe book covers three primary goals for Church-Leaders: RE-THINK > RE-IMAGINE > RE-BOOT:1.RE-THINK: The first goal is to sound the alarm and provide a wake-up call for all churches and their leaders of the critical need to rethink their current perspectives concerning the new realities of the 21st-century, and for the need to create a "Technology Roadmap-to-Relevance" to help them better align with the high-velocity changes occurring in Technology and Culture that threaten to make church irrelevant at best, or ignored at worst.2.RE-IMAGINE: Its second goal is to reimagine the future of the church through bold, open-minded discussion about the importance of aggressively adopting both existing and future technologies with which churches might become more productive, efficient, and effective in meeting the needs of its members, and the larger world of the un-churched and under-churched "Seekers" beyond its walls.3.RE-BOOT: Its third purpose is to inform, inspire, and motivate church leaders to reboot their church by transforming their church through "Digital-Transformation" to better serve a 21st-century Digital-World. A reboot also means challenging the status-quo and any rigid thinking or blind adherence to tradition for tradition's sake that may be holding their church back from reaching more Seekers, and then to take immediate action to enact the Cultural and Technological changes necessary to more successfully fulfill the charter given to it by Christ as embodied in Matthew 28: 19-20 - also known as "The Great Commission".Church-Leaders, as well as rank-and-file church-members, should be thinking about the future of their church and strategically re-imagining its roles, activities, and how it relates to the new Digital-World it serves. This is the only way your church, and the "Christian Church" writ-large, will have the opportunity to remain relevant to that Digital-World. Why "relevant?" Because - "What is not relevant is not important, and what is not important, is ignored."Relevancy is important if churches are to reverse the declines in church participation and memberships that Gallup reports have fallen by 20% in just the past two decades. It's especially important if churches are to reach and attract post-Millennial "Digital-Natives" who have never known a non-digital world. Isn't it time for your church to "Reboot?"
