Christine Caine, Pastors Praise ‘Sim Church’ Metaverse
With news that Craig Groeschel’s 85,000-member megachurch has joined the metaverse, creating a virtual reality simulation where congregants can, much like SimCity characters, attend church remotely from the comforts of their home with a VR headset and interact with other remote ‘congregants’, several big names have come out in support of his deceptively demonic idea, including Christine Caine, Mike Todd, and Carey Nieuwhof, writing on Instagram:
“This is amazing! Of course you’re there.’
“Just wow!!! 🔥🔥”
“NEXT LEVEL!– THANK YOU LORD!”
Unsurprisingly, the words of excitement come from those who possess little to no discernment.
There is Christine Caine, the charismatic, egalitarian, one-time leader from Hillsong who preaches the word/faith prosperity gospel while leading a network designed to empower women to become preachers and pastors. Caine holds to the notion that Jesus died on the cross to give you possessions, wealth, and health, and that it is there for the taking if you have enough faith and confess it positively. It’s no surprise then that she cut her teeth on Hillsong, the Brian Houston-led boondoggle that has the reputation for being among the most immature, scripturally ignorant, and carnal people in the history of the world to ever call themselves Christians. Despite these troubling factoids about her, her swag will get sold as she gets promoted as one of the elite “Lifeway Women.”
Also Transformation Church’s Lead Pastor Michael Todd, who is known for crowd surfing during his church’s worship service and spending a lot of money, including giving away $3,500,000 in houses, cash, and cars, spending $65,000 to buy 168 pairs of shoes, purchasing a real estate complex for over $20,000,000, and giving $600,000 worth of reparations to three people for the ills that befell them and the suffering they have endured on account of racism and white supremacy.
Carey Nieuwhof is a seeker-sensitive pastor heavily involved in Barna and known for his platform and influence in trendsetting and developing Christian leaders. He habitually suggests he’s cooler than everyone else, writing articles like “5 STUPID THINGS THE CHURCH NEEDS TO STOP DOING TO MAKE PROGRESS’ that include gems like ‘ranking sin selectively, commenting on politics, being weird online’ etc.
In response to the interest generated by their new ‘location, Life.Church sent out a statement to Churchleaders, saying:
With recent emphasis on the metaverse, organizations around the globe are taking a closer look how to leverage virtual reality—including the local church.
Last weekend, Life.Church hosted its second-ever church service in Microsoft’s virtual reality platform called AltspaceVR. Nearly 100 people attended the service, and two people made the decision to follow Jesus.
While critics might question if real connections can be made in the metaverse, Life.Church has seen countless lives changed through relationships in digital spaces over the years. With 15 years of online ministry experience (including services in Second Life in 2007), Life.Church has found that people are often more willing to let their guard down and have deep, meaningful conversations more quickly from the safety of anonymity than they are face-to-face.
As new opportunities like the metaverse emerge, Life.Church continues to be passionate about leveraging technology to bring hope to people where they are, especially those who might not otherwise set foot in a physical church.

Corporate worship and fellowship is not a video game. Unfortunately, I know some lost LifeChurch attendees who will probably be way into this. It will be one more thing to keep them away from churches that preach the gospel and teach sound theology.
I make 85 dollars each hour for working an online job at home. KLA I never thought I could do it but my best friend makes 10000 bucks every month working this job and she recommended me to learn more about it. The potential with this is endless.
