The Social Church: A Theology of Digital Communication Description
Every other societal building block has been disrupted by the shift toward social media. Why would we think the church should be any different? Churches can choose to become interactive as a church or we can choose to fade further into the cultural background. The choice is up to us.
This book is for Christians who advocates for social media in their churches. It's for pastors and ministry leaders who want to understand what social media is and why it's crucial for the survival of local churches. It's for Christians who want to be on the right side of history, leveraging new technologies to further the Kingdom of God.
Justin Wise contends that social media is this generation's printing press-a revolutionary technology that can spread the gospel further and faster than we can imagine.
Are you ready to think theologically about digital communication? Are you ready to adapt your methods to share the Message that never changes?

The Social Church is a not just for the hippest guy on staff, nor is it a “how-to” on social media. It's an inspiration for you to start, keep going, or be better in connecting with your church. Through stories, stats, and experience Justin Wise shares not only what the church can do in the day's ever-changing culture, but how they can thrive!
I’d love to say this is an easy read (in some ways it is), but it’s also challenging and makes you think about YOUR church, YOUR strategy, and what YOU can do to make a difference where your church and influence is. Whether you’re a pastor, a leader, in charge of communications; whether you're just starting out online, aren’t sure where to go next, or need a little reboot--this is a book you need to read with your team.

Justin does an incredible job on showing the need for the Church to embrace social media. Don't learn "how to", find out WHY! A must read for anyone involved in ministry and their team.
