Gutenberg, Amazon, and the Evolution of the Modern Church

As a result of COVID-19, churches have been forced into a digital platform as a primary means of reaching their people. The result? Most churches we know, who had a digital platform prior to COVID, have grown their average weekly attendance by four to five times.

Relevance lives at the intersection of purpose and practice. It’s the place where our why meets our how. In this next iteration of church buildings, it is my hope that we will design and plan for buildings to be as relevant as they are reverent.

This resource will discuss:

The true definition of corporate worship

The heart of corporate worship is not found primarily in a Sunday event but an engagement of people with one another within the movement of the Gospel.

How churches can separate the 'why' and the 'how'

Why is missional; how is practical. Practices can change, but the mission should not.

Making the digital platform your greatest evangelism tool

We have an unbelievable opportunity with the digital platform to meet people where they are with the Gospel of Jesus Christ. We can introduce them to the Gospel in the comfort of their homes, eliminating the tension of walking into a foreign environment with new people whom they potentially already mistrust.

And much more!

What Leaders Are Saying...

"As Nathan Artt rightfully notes, the question isn’t “What should people do?” it’s “What will people do?” as we seek to decipher what ministry will look like in a post-COVID-19 world. His thoughts and insights will help you and your leadership team navigate the choppy and disruptive waters ahead."

Jenni Catron

Author, Speaker, and Founder of The 4Sight Group

"In an instant Church leaders were faced with a question—what is the Church? For decades, perhaps longer, the Church and her gathering were synonymous, and in one weekend gatherings were no more... for the moment. Faced with this new reality, Church leaders had to decide, innovation or death. Is Church a people or a place? What will the future hold? With keen insight and powerful illustrations, Nathan Artt puts before us a challenging and helpful approach to answering our initial questions, and more."
