Digitalization affects highly religious Christian communities to a high degree. This involves both organizational digitalization processes in churches, communities and networks as well as waves of digitalization fostered by individual actors, such as Christian influencers. Based on current developments in digital theology and the church in the context of global evangelicalism, this paper shows how digitalization acts as a purposeful strategy (internal factor) of highly religious Christian organizations and as a new form of mass media communication (external factor). As an example, the thematic focus on the digital church at the 4th Lausanne Congress 2024 will be analyzed to show strategies as internal factors within global Evangelicalism. Using case studies from the German-speaking context, the paper will furthermore show how Christian influencers are fundamentally changing the faith communication of highly religious actors in the context of social media as an external factor.
