Abstract

The writer examines the concept of the Church based on Acts 2: 41-47 and its application of the church life in the digital era.  This research departs from the writer's anxiety in seeing the practice in church today. With the development of technology that is increasingly accelerating and unstoppable, it inevitably challenges to build a digital community but does not break the usual meetings.  The writer hopes that the church will rediscover the spirit of the early church that is active in fellowship, sharing with one another and eating together.  The research method used is a qualitative method with a hermeneutic approach.  The hermeneutic approach includes three interrelated subjects namely: First, the world of texts. Second, the world of authors. Third, the world of readers.  Based on studies conducted by the writer, the church is required to be more flexible in following the various developments offered by technology.  The presence of technology is very helpful in building relationships with one another as it has been revealed in this paper empirically.  Social media is used as a mean of networking in building a church community both learning together, sharing love and eating together. Digital technology does not replace humans but as a means to connect with                                                one another through social media.
