A little over a year ago, Mark Zuckerberg rebranded the Facebook umbrella as Meta, putting big emphasis on the Metaverse (and the Oculus/Meta Quest 2 headset).
I did a video at the time talking about the potential of the Metaverse being a fresh mission field (see: • 🍎 The Future of Church... ). When you think of new forms of communication, Christianity has historically been at the forefront. With stone tablets, you had the Ten Commandments. The most popular book has been the Bible. When the printing press debuted, Martin Luther's 95 Theses was the first thing that went viral. With the invention of radio, sermons dominated the airwaves. With TV, evangelists sermons. But with the invention of computers and video games, Christian ministries didn't know what to do. Name one Christian video game for kids?
So with the Metaverse, will this be something to plant virtual churches with? Or is it an overhyped medium that would be a waste of time and resources?
After briefly browsing a few virtual churches, it wasn't anything interesting. Just sermons on a big screen. But after attending VR MMO Church, this was where I see the direction of virtual churches can really tap into.
