Abstract


The development of digital technology has changed the way people live. As a community of faith, the church faces the challenge of remaining relevant in reaching the digital generation that lives in a virtual culture. However, traditional evangelism approaches, which still dominate, often fail to adapt to the rapid changes of the times. The phenomenon of increasing digital activity among the younger generation, while the church lags behind in the use of digital media for evangelism, highlights a gap between ministry strategies and real-world needs. This study aims to examine how the integration of evangelistic theology and digital mission can be strategically applied in contemporary church leadership. Using qualitative methods, it can be concluded that the essence of evangelism theology is deeply rooted in biblical foundations, which serve as the primary basis for designing contextual mission strategies in the digital age. The concepts and practices of digital mission represent an actual expansion of the Great Commission, now carried out through media and virtual spaces. Church leadership in the technological era is required to be adaptive, innovative, and theological in order to guide the congregation in mission service. Therefore, the integration of evangelical theology and digital mission has become an urgent need, not only to address the challenges of the times but also to shape a strategic pattern of digital evangelical leadership for the future of the church. This approach will encourage the church to remain faithful to the Gospel call while being responsive to the changes of the times.
