 64% say they are “completely open to carrying out and pursuing
 your faith in an environment or structure that differs from that of a
 typical church.” 

 Two out of three adults contend that they are not tied to a conventional
 church setting as they seek to experience and express their faith. This
 openness to new contexts, processes and structures is especially
 common among Baby Boomers (68%). Interest in pursuing faith is similar
 in all areas of the nation with the exception of the Northeast (56%).

 50% say “a growing number of people I know are tired of the usual
 type of church experience.”

 It is not just the survey respondents who indicated their willingness to
 change churches or to consider different forms of church experience.
 Half of all adults said they are aware of such a willingness to experiment
 on the part of people they know because those individuals are tired of
 the common church experience. This awareness was especially acute
 among blacks (59%) and Hispanics (58%).

 71% say they are “more likely to develop my religious beliefs on my
 own, rather than to accept an entire set of beliefs that a particular
 church teaches.”

 Levels of distrust toward churches, church leaders and organized
 Christianity have been growing over the past two decades. That concern
 – along with the heightened independence of Americans and the
 profound access to information that has characterized the past decade –
 may have led to the emergence of a large majority of adults feeling
 responsible for their own theological and spiritual development. Other
 studies have shown an inclination for people to view a local church as a
 supplier of useful guidance and support, but not necessarily a reliable
 source of a comprehensive slate of beliefs that they must adopt.

In fact, because Boomers and Busters represent about two-thirds of the
adult population, they are far more numerous users of technology than
                    are adults under the age of 25.

For church leaders, it is notable that a minority of churchgoing Mosaics
 and Busters are accessing their congregation’s podcasts and website.

Church buildings were initially constructed under the Roman
emperor Constantine, around 327.


The pulpit was a piece of stagecraft borrowed from Greek
culture in which professional speakers delivered monologues
in public debates. There is no evidence that Jesus, the
apostles, or other leaders in the early Church used a pulpit; it
seems to have been introduced into Christian circles in the
mid-third century.

There were no pastors, as an official or director of a group of
believers, until sometime in the second century. That was
eventually furthered by the practice of ordination, which was
based upon the prevailing Roman custom of appointing men
to public office.

  • 6. Social Media + Church Does Church really need social media, I mean... really? 64% say they are “completely open to carrying out and pursuing your faith in an environment or structure that differs from that of a typical church.”  Two out of three adults contend that they are not tied to a conventional church setting as they seek to experience and express their faith. This openness to new contexts, processes and structures is especially common among Baby Boomers (68%). Interest in pursuing faith is similar in all areas of the nation with the exception of the Northeast (56%). Apex
  • 7. Social Media + Church Does Church really need social media, I mean... really? 50% say “a growing number of people I know are tired of the usual type of church experience.” It is not just the survey respondents who indicated their willingness to change churches or to consider different forms of church experience. Half of all adults said they are aware of such a willingness to experiment on the part of people they know because those individuals are tired of the common church experience. This awareness was especially acute among blacks (59%) and Hispanics (58%).  Apex
  • 8. Social Media + Church Does Church really need social media, I mean... really? 71% say they are “more likely to develop my religious beliefs on my own, rather than to accept an entire set of beliefs that a particular church teaches.” Levels of distrust toward churches, church leaders and organized Christianity have been growing over the past two decades. That concern – along with the heightened independence of Americans and the profound access to information that has characterized the past decade – may have led to the emergence of a large majority of adults feeling responsible for their own theological and spiritual development. Other studies have shown an inclination for people to view a local church as a supplier of useful guidance and support, but not necessarily a reliable source of a comprehensive slate of beliefs that they must adopt.

  • 37. Social Media + Church We started with... Church buildings were initially constructed under the Roman emperor Constantine, around 327. The pulpit was a piece of stagecraft borrowed from Greek culture in which professional speakers delivered monologues in public debates. There is no evidence that Jesus, the apostles, or other leaders in the early Church used a pulpit; it seems to have been introduced into Christian circles in the mid-third century. Apex

Preaching a sermon to an audience was ushered into the church world late in the second century. Sermons were an extension of the activity of the Greek sophists, who had mastered the art of rhetorical oratory. There were no pastors, as an official or director of a group of believers, until sometime in the second century. That was eventually furthered by the practice of ordination, which was based upon the prevailing Roman custom of appointing men to public office. Apex
