Church on the Net

Church on the Net is aimed at people who are not already engaged with the Christian faith. Its purpose is to bring God and the idea of church into their comfort zone, providing a safe and self-directed way to find answers to their questions about Christianity.

Atheists, agnostics, searchers and members of other faiths are all welcomed here. Open 24/7 and accessible from all over the world, the site explains core Christian beliefs and uses the internet to direct people towards further study and items of interest.

Page sizes and images are kept to a minimum, to make the site more accessible to people in countries or regions where broadband access is unavailable or prohibitively expensive.

Should anyone wish to explore a developing belief in God, they are encouraged to join a physical church near to them, where they can experience Christian fellowship and discipleship.

Church on the Net can also be useful to Christians who can’t get to church, for whatever reason, and to those who may want to go back to church after a long absence.

St Pixels core values:

St Pixels welcomes people from many different backgrounds and traditions. To express our shared values as an ecumenical Christian community, members have worked out a core values statement:

God is revealed to seekers by many different means, including creation, the Bible, the life of Jesus and the Spirit-filled witness of the Church. St Pixels is one expression of that historical, international and universal Church. We aim to create sacred space on the Internet where we can seek God together, enjoy each other's company and reflect God's love for the world. Those of any belief or none are welcome to take part in our activities, providing they accept the Christian focus of our community and respect other participants.
