Throughout Church History, technological advancements have had significant influence on the life and work of the church. Witnessing the church's use of leading developments in infrastructure (Roman road system), engineering (cathedrals), communication (printing press), and mass media (television, radio), you can see how the church historically embraced emerging technologies for spreading evangelism, building community, and facilitating worship.
Almost 200 million Americans are daily spending hours online banking, downloading, shopping, social networking, and web surfing for fun. According to Harris Interactive, 35% are online seeking spiritual answers... the second highest search activity ahead of finances, gambling and dating, second only to pornography.
Studies report the typical American spends more time using media devices than doing anything else while awake, with 46% of online adults listening, watching or downloading online media during that time. George Barna states that 'the typical American spends roughly twenty times more hours each week engaged with media than involved with all forms of traditional religious activity.' In addition, the Barna Group estimates that within a decade over 50 million Americans will rely solely upon the Internet to get them in touch with God and other believers as well as providing for all of their faith based experiences.

The Internet is one of the significant influencers in culture, Sermon Connect will help you leverage its power and broad appeal to communicate and connect with people.
Our vision is to see the Church effectively communicating the timeless truth of the Gospel with today's technology, continuing the precedence set the last 2,000 years and beyond.
