Central Florida church lets worshippers access service via iPhone
It used to be the norm to silence your cell phone during church. Not anymore.
Since its inception July 4, approximately 2,000 Northland Church worshippers have accessed their church service live via their iPhone or iTouch. No more excuses for skipping church.
“Our goal with this is to provide people the opportunity for a connection in worship, rather than giving people an isolating tool,” said Nathan Clark, Northland’s director of digital innovation.
Northland has provided access to its services on the Web since 2006. Two years later, you can do more than just watch the service on your computer screen.
“While you’re watching the service, you’re also able to engage with other people with direct one-on-one conversation,” Clark said. “There’s an online minister who’s there who can pray with you, or give you counseling, or can help you understand what the sermon’s about.”
