The invisibility of digital technology has produced a distinctively new generation defined by digital media: the digital natives. Digital natives are those who were born into the digital age. The digital world is inevitable to the church. It has been noticed that it is difficult for the church to catch up with the pervasiveness of technology. Pastors will find themselves having little or no impact on the lives of digital natives if they continue to avoid social networking sites, where digital natives spend most of their time. If pastors want to have more influence and impact digital natives, they must embrace the social networking world of the digital natives. This paper examines the attitude of digital natives toward religion and how the church can reach out for them.
