At the Emergence Christianity #13 conference (Memphis, TN) last week Phyllis Tickle put out this amazing statistic: “20,000,000 people worship online every week!” That’s right, they are sitting in their jammies, or a deer blind, or their living room, or at a red light, or in a coffee shop or…etc. and pulling up their worship experience. Traditional understandings of what is church and worship are changing…and how!!! So how do we connect with this?
At VFM we built VIBRANTFAITHATHOME.ORG with this phenomenon in mind. Most congregational leaders have neither the time or resources to develop an effective online strategy that reaches the electronic church. VF@Home is the shortcut to relevancy and connection. AND IT’S FREE.
And to support congregational leaders and educators we developed “VibrantFaithatHome Plus” to augment what the online crowd is looking at. For example, you can run small groups online through it, embed VF@Home into your congregational website, and/or access “ready to go” activities that are done in the parish or congregational setting that compliment what people are doing at home, in the deer blind, at the stop light, coffee shop, or in their living rooms.
A congregational subscription is only $195 annually. For the first 200 that sign up we’ll do a drawing for a free iPad. Here’s how to sign up!
This is awesome. Thanks, Paul, for being so ahead of the game with your posts this week! You rock!!
