Pope John Paul II had this same vision in 1990. At the time the internet was virtually non-existent. His words could adequately sum up the vision and passion of E-Church Essentials

With the advent of computer telecommunications, the Church is offered further means for fulfilling her mission. Methods of facilitating communication and dialogue among her own members can strengthen the bonds of unity among them...She can hear more clearly the voice of public opinion and enter into continuous discussion with the world around her, thus involving herself more immediately in the common search for solutions to humanity's many pressing problems...It is clear that the Church must also avail herself of the new resources for her ever pressing task of evangelization".
(Statement in connection with World Communications Day, May 27, 1990)

Our vision for ministry aligns with the following points emphasized by the Pope:

1) The internet offers the Church further means of accomplishing her mission in this world.

The Christ-given mission is to "go throughout the world and to make disciples, baptizing them in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit; and teaching them to obey all that I have commanded you".

Internet-based solutions can help accomplish the tasks of "making disciples" and "teaching them to obey". However, internet technology cannot "baptize". Nor can the process of becoming a fully devoted follower of Jesus Christ be accomplished in a relational isolation. This is why the Essential Solution is specifically designed to integrate into established real-world ministries.

2) Communication among church members can strengthen the bonds of unity.

The Essential solution excels at inter-body communication. From websites, personal blogs, e-learning programs, team management systems, membership and event management, and topical forums...the communication tools exist to facilitate communication in a way never before possible.

3) Involvement of the church in ministering to the world is essential.

The Essential Solution emphasizes ministry team training, mobilization and management. From our team-building assessments such as a personality profile, Spiritual Gift Assessment and Style of Leadership Assessment, to our team-building matrix that identifies ideal candidates for specific ministry roles, the Essential Solution is the premier system for empowering and supporting ministry team mobilization.

4) The Essential Solution supports evangelization.

Being an internet based product, worldwide communication of the Gospel is readily available.
