Abstract
The prolonged Covid has rapidly changed our local and social environment and created a hybrid lifestyle and synthetic model churches for religious life, so watching YouTube Live Stream of worship service became a new normal for Christians. The online virtual faith-based communities become a third space for multitudes of generation MZ and the De-churched. It also provides a new perspective to discover the value of the digital church, showing more possibilities for the coexistence of institutional and digital church. This article explains the online people movement and the hybrid church models through theological reflections. The synthetic model, one of Bevan’s contextualization models, enables us to understand the emergence of digital churches or so-called “Verge Churches” (Hirsch and Ferguson 2011:39). All-Line church, a hybrid church ministry, can be compared to a see-saw play because the numbers of online and offline members are accordingly flexible depending on the Covid situation. The hybrid churches’ online ministry can also be called a seedbed ministry metaphorically because it may lead church scattered-refugees to be transplanted to a new field with spiritual care in the Metaverse environment
