Abstract

Church leadership in the 5.0 era refers to how the church and its leadership adapt to the continuous changes of the times. Church leaders need to understand the role of technology in the life of modern society (the use of social media and digital communication) to reach out and deliver the message of Christian faith in the development of congregational spirituality. The purpose of this paper is: how a church leader adapts to the rapidly changing times and how church leaders use social media, online church streaming, and digital communication to develop congregational spirituality. This research uses a qualitative method of literature through books, journals, and other sources that are in accordance with the topic of discussion. This research explains that: first, church leaders must rethink the approach that has been done so far to be in line with the Gospel and the core values of faith as well as the reality of contemporary society. Second, social media platforms have emerged as an important tool for church leaders to communicate their messages, foster community, and enhance outreach efforts.
