The document discusses how social media trends will shape the church of the future. It notes that social media is now a dominant form of media consumption. The church of the future will need to engage Christians through social media by posting daily content tailored for different audiences, as well as fostering offline community through social events. The church will also need to authentically engage as a content curator and discuss various viewpoints to build community in a context of porous online boundaries.
