The first-ever Social Media Summit is this Saturday. The Summit is specifically designed for ministry professionals looking to expand the reach of their ministries in the realm of social media. Really looking forward to hearing from Brandon Donaldson, Sam Duregger, Sam Mahlstadt and of course, Mr. Social Media himself, Justin Wise!
Chris and I will even be leading a workshop exploring some of the ways Gateway has selected and utilized social media.
The Gospel and Electronic Culture: How Mission Shapes our Technology
Contextualization is the incarnation of the gospel in a new culture. To reach a new culture, the gospel must enter, challenge, and re-tell the story within the new culture. But it is essential that we have a proper sociological and theological understanding of electronic culture before we jump right in. The church must engage technology not with naïve embrace, or fearful rejection, but with discernment, creativity, and purpose as we articulate the gospel in a digital age. In this session we will begin to evaluate technology, discern its effects, and utilize it to communicate the gospel.
There are still a few spots available. Hope to see you there!
