Multimedia presentations for worship or educational purposes can either be simple application of computer technology or extremely dazzling presentations. Software like PowerPoint can be used with projectors or large-screen televisions to replace worship bulletins, and provide visual sermon outlines as well as display songs, and show illustrations. The same or similar multimedia applications can be applied
to congregational education programs to display images of the ancient Holy Lands, or trace the journeys of the Israelites. Sunday school children can participate in interactive games that make studying about the Bible fun and exciting.

The price of presentation technology can be costly in both time and money, which has ignited many conflicts in congregations. Many churches recognize the benefits of this technology including its effectiveness delivering the message of Christ to younger people. However, in order for most of these churches to reach a compromise between the need of bring in younger members, and the desires of the older members many churches had to add ?alternative? worship service where the multimedia technology was used, while still offering the more ?traditional services? to please the older congregations.

All over the country, there are increasing concerns that with the merger of technology with worship, that more attention will be given to the technology and not the Word. However, once the church congregation has become familiar with the computer technology these fears are soon put to rest. It is no longer a question of whether or not churches should or should not use computer technology, but how they can effectively use this wonderful technology to better serve their congregations, community, and
missions.
