#5 - Leveraging High-Tech

One of our 5 operating principles at 5 Stones church is to leverage technology for the gospel. This is still a work in progress, but never in the history of man, have local churches been able to have such global reach and appeal through the internet, technology and multimedia. 

Mars Hill Church in Seattle says it well:

"God has often used technological advancement to spread the Gospel through the church. At the time of Paul it was the Roman’s system of roads.  For the Reformers it was the printing press. For Billy Graham it was sound amplification systems and stadiums. For Mars Hill [or local churches], we have ... the opportunity to use the advances in video and internet distribution [like never before]."

I'll be sharing more on the other 5 principles we live by at 5 Stones; it's part of our "incubator" concept for church planting.

The above picture says it all.  High tech reaching the farthest corners - may it be for Jesus and his glory.
