Technology In The Church

From Roman roads to livestreams, the church has always used the tools of its age to spread the timeless message of Jesus Christ. But as screens, sound systems, and social media dominate the modern sanctuary, one question rises to the surface: are these tools helping us worship—or quietly distracting us from it? In this lighthearted yet deeply insightful book, Pastor Mark Wood explores the pros and cons of technology in today's church. From the power of livestreams to reach the lost, to the pitfalls of "rock concert" worship, he unpacks how tech can both amplify and overshadow the gospel. With case studies, humorous anecdotes, Scripture insights, and even charts and graphs, this book offers a practical guide for leaders and believers alike. You'll discover: How technology has shaped worship throughout history. The blessings and dangers of livestreaming, digital giving, and stage production. Real stories of churches that found balance between faith and fiber-optics. A practical playbook for using technology without losing focus on Christ. Whether you're a pastor, a volunteer in the sound booth, or simply a believer curious about the future of worship, this book will encourage you to embrace technology wisely—always remembering that while tools change, the gospel never does.
