Abstract

Modern media continues to grow and have an impact on global changes in industrial, cultural, social, religious paradigms and the lives of people. New communication trends such as social media have implications for the disruption of the alienation of the functional role of religion which will most likely result in the loss of religious identity. Judging from the phenomenon above, how does the church reflect its identity as a social media that echoes God’s Mission in the digital world? The purpose of this paper is to frame a new paradigm in the church and continue to streamline its mission of spreading the gospel throughout the world in the digital era. This research used descriptive research, with a qualitative approach. The results of the study highlight several factors (1) Reality of the Church as the Epistle of Christ in the Modern World (2) Church embraces digitization in mission. Research Contribution: This research is proposed to help readers present the church’s identity in virtual reality in the context of social media as well as embrace social media as a support system for transmitting the message of Christ in the Digital Age.
