Which statement best reflects the recommended stance on technology use in ministry?

• A. Ignore technology entirely
• B. Seek to master its use
• C. Rely solely on technology
• D. Use technology only for communications

Answer: (B)

Using technology wisely in ministry means actively seeking to master its use. This involves learning how to use tools effectively, staying current with best practices, and evaluating each option against how it serves people and mission, all while keeping relationships and spiritual formation at the center. When you aim to master technology, you can expand outreach, enhance teaching and worship, and improve administration, without letting tools drive the work. Technology should be a servant to people, not the other way around. Ignoring technology misses opportunities in a connected world. Relying solely on technology risks sacrificing personal presence and can fail when systems fail. Using technology only for communications narrows its potential, leaving out ways it can support teaching, administration, and collaboration.
