St. Pixels, is an online 3D church, hosting the first-ever interactive worship service on Facebook. According to St. Pixels designer, Mark Howe:
“Love it or hate it, Facebook is where people are in 2011. If the Gospel is for today’s connected culture, it has to find a distinctive but culturally-appropriate place within social networking.”
“It’s easy to build irrelevant ghettos in cyberspace or to abandon distinctives in the rush to embrace the latest online fad. Our Facebook application is an attempt to engage with a cultural phenomenon on its own terms while holding onto the Gospel that has transformed so many cultures across the centuries.”
The multimedia church is hoping to proclaim Christ through new media outlets like Facebook and potentially reach out and touch some of the reported 600 million neighbors on the social network site.
The first service is scheduled to be launched on May 10. St. Pixels intends “to create a sacred space and a welcoming and witnessing community on the Internet.” They also hope to make disciples and provide opportunities for theological discussion and exploration. *Top
