Northland Church, which launched a Church within Facebook, has continued to push the boundaries of technology with a new channel on Roku.
Roku, which is a little box that allows you to stream channels on your TV without a computer, costs less than $60:
A pioneering church that has brought live worship to mobile devices including the iPhone and to Facebook’s 500 million users is thinking outside the box once again with the first-ever live church channel on the Roku set-top device.
Now accessible in Roku’s channel store, the free channel from Northland, A Church Distributed offers easy access to live worship services, along with past sermons, music and classes.
Pretty neat stuff.
House churches are already starting to use it, as seen above.
Roku, which recently sealed a deal with Hulu, could have even more eyes pumped to their viewers with the size of Hulu in their pipes.
Although this implementation might not be for everyone, it’s a great example of what can be done with set-top box technology, like Roku.

That’s awesome! I was just having a conversation with my wife about ways the church should start leveraging internet connected televisions. With screens being so large, I wonder what we can do beyond just video.
