Sessions & Synopsis

The Great Commission must govern the activity of the church in every generation. Regardless of rising and falling empires, famines or feasts, war-time or peace-time, the church has her marching orders to evangelize and disciple the nations. We now live in a digital age that affords us the opportunity of almost instantaneous communication & interaction with practically anyone on the globe. The technological tools which are available to us must be first understood, then utilized, in such a way that they advance the Gospel. At the same time, with technological development, it is certain that the tools will be misused and abused; thus, Christians must carefully think through tools like the internet, social media, film, or gizmos & gadgets from a biblical perspective. Join us (February 17-18, 2016) as we foray into these topics, with the goal of obeying the Great Commission by taking the Gospel onto the digital stage.
