SALU’s digital discipleship is flourishing. What began as a lifeline during lockdown has grown into a dynamic ecosystem of worship, reflection and connection, powered by
livestreams, interactive visuals and AI-generated devotionals. Each Sunday now sparks a rhythm of engagement that carries through the entire week.
SALU’s Digital Ministry Flourishes as Online Engagement Soars
In a heartening development, viewership of worship livestreams, broadcast simultaneously on Facebook and YouTube, has more than doubled over recent months, with 500–700 interactions (views) per service.
Using a trio of cameras, ATEM technology, and a digital sound desk to mix and stream the service creates a more dynamic experience for viewers. A curated PowerPoint slide deck guides the visual journey, enhancing each moment of the service with images, reflective prompts and theological insight.
Sunday Services Spark a Week of Reflection
Each Sunday’s gathering is no longer just a livestream; it’s the launchpad for a full devotional journey powered by SermonShots AI. This innovative tool analyses the sermon and generates:
- A Five-Day Devotional series, deepening spiritual reflection on the sermon. This is sent to more than 50 people every morning (Tuesday through Saturday).
- A Digging Deeper feature, offering thoughtful theological insights and practical takeaways.
Quotes and reels*, highlighting key teachings and prompting daily moments of pause, which are released throughout the week on social media.
A weekly digital newsletter, including the above-mentioned Digging Deeper sermon takeaway, along with links to the YouTube recording of the sermon and a full transcript, the weekly Prayer Diary and relevant intimations, is sent to more than 100 people every Monday.
Faith Meets Innovation
This dynamic approach gives SALU’s congregation more time, and more pathways, to engage with Sunday’s message. From bite-sized video reflections to thematic devotionals and bold visual quotes, it’s no longer just about hearing the sermon. It’s about carrying its message into the rhythm of the week, cultivating a habit of shared wisdom and daily reflection. The congregation is evolving from passive viewers into active spiritual participants, united by prayer, insight, and ongoing connection – even long after the service ends.
