As the world’s primary system of communication changes from print to screen (video, graphics, computers, Internet), today’s primary form for communication is story.

Digital culture people - and that's all of us, but especially those born after 1962 - need to experience the world’s most important Story in story-based worship and teaching.

And since first-century Christians also lived in a story-based culture - though it was oral rather than electronic - digital culture ministry also means reclaiming many of the church's ancient traditions that were forgotten during the "modern" print-literate era.

Those are traditions such as Telling Scripture as story and ancient spiritual practices and ways of prayer.

Digital culture ministry means multiple-intelligence learning methods for both children and adults.

Digital culture ministry means knowing how to use all technologies - projection, music, video, graphics, speaking - together in worship so that digital-culture worshippers can experience God.

Beth Galbreath both practices and teaches digital culture ministry in her church and others, and has taught in the Lumicon Institute online courses of its Digital Culture Ministry certification program. She is available to consult and encourage churches beginning to move into Digital Culture Ministry.
