The Church Must Change

I'm struck with the similarity of what's happening in today's Christian Church and what is going on in the internet with Web 2.0

Our changing world demands that the church must change with it. It's a great mistake to assume that our present church culture is more Biblical than some of the newer models. Churches should appeal to the many avenues of society.

Our mindsets need to not be stationary. The cloud is moving. Old paradigm churches have permitted spiritual and emotional abuse, victimization, and control. These issues must be seriously addressed.
Where free communication is not allowed, control usually results.

The relational aspects of Web 2.0 provide a model for churches to create powerful interaction between members. Improved communication can also be developed between congregants and church leaders.

Web 2.0 shows us the massive change into a people focued group where all can participate. We see the need for collective information - where the collective intelligence of the masses is harnessed (like Wikipedia). We see that an honor system of trust allows groups to add vital information and even at times correct themselves.

This group idea appeals to many who tire of the single monolithic approach of leadership. Proper leadership now moves more to teaching, guidance, and mentoring. There is great need for more mutual interaction. Consumer-friendly structure.

Church leadership authority is redefined as we move into new mindsets of what reaches people in this new day. We no longer just pontificate - we can blog (interact) together - contributing all of our ideas for greater application and understanding. Communication-oriented systems become part of where the church can go!

This shift is also called the 3rd Day Church! This 3rd Day speaks of resurrection - it shows us the reality of LIVING in a new platform. We're starting a new platfor on web2-0church.com

The Church government must change to accomadate this change. All of us must develop new mindsets. What an exciting day to be alive! In the midst of change!

Our ministry is here to help believers CHANGE - to mature until they are able to realize, enjoy, and activate the things that Jesus died to give.
