| Sumario: | This article explores how churches present their religious identity online through the digital and multi-media resources they produce to showcase their ministries. In this study we focus on the digital performances of religious identity of multisite churches, which are churches that meet in multiple locations. We argue technology plays a key role not only in facilitating their church services, but in shaping members’ and visitors’ understanding of what church is within these contexts. This investigation leads us to a close study of digital media use of these churches, in order to uncover what factors such churches need to consider about their use of digital media if they are to ensure they are communicating cohesive and consistent identities in both the online and offline aspects of their church. |
