The Impact of a Church’s Internet Usage on Congregation Members’ Perception of Community

Just as the Internet has changed the way that we do business and spend our personal time, so it has changed the way that we interact  within the church community. Through a survey with a church community and interviews with the church leadership, this paper will identify areas of Internet usage specific to the church, as well as the positive and     negative aspect to the church community.  Implications are discussed with regard to utilitarian usage and community relations usage.

Many pastors and worship leaders propose that any song, whether originally proposed for Christ or not, when put into the context of a    worship setting can be used to glorify God. The present study will explore whether or not framing has any effect in the presentation of secular, non-God centered, or ambiguous lyrical content when this same said lyrical content is presented in the context of a worship setting.
