MetaChurch: How to Use Digital Ministry to Reach People and Make Disciples

Review
“As leaders, COVID-19 gave us an opportunity to ask ourselves some big questions about our model for doing church, and how we leverage technology to reach people in our communities, and help them develop daily disciplines. These questions need to be asked, and in MetaChurch, Dave Adamson provides some answers based on his experience as one of the first online pastors in the world. This book will challenge you, but it will also inspire you to think beyond what you’ve always done in order to go into all the world and preach the Gospel.” ―MARK BATTERSON, New York Times Best-selling Author of The Circle Maker and Lead Pastor of National Community Church --OrangeBooks.com
“In his book MetaChurch, Dave Adamson makes a compelling argument that it is time we reimagine the way we do church without ever compromising the why. Discipleship has moved beyond mere attendance and entered the realm of engagement. Drawing on years of his online experience, Dave is committed to helping us dig new wells before old brooks dry up.” ―LISA BEVERE, New York Times Best-selling Author, Co-founder of Messenger International & MessengerX App --OrangeBooks.com
“We are not in a temporary season. This is a transition to a new era and Dave Adamson is holding a mirror to prompt a new paradigm. He has been an inspiration, challenge, and wonderful guide in this online season for Alpha Australia. Dave has helped us greatly, and this book will help you articulate and identify the essentials to consider. It was challenging, inspiring, painful, and truth telling for my ministry’s future, and I’m becoming an advocate for MetaChurch.” ―MELINDA DWIGHT, National Director for Alpha Australia --OrangeBooks.com
