Right now, people all over the United States can go online and be part of the Church at Rock Creek.
Every weekend 5,000 people go in person, but now, hundreds more are going to church without going to church either through live streaming video every Sunday and Monday or watching archived services.
"If you're watching us by way of the internet, by our live streaming, we want to say a special welcome to you all," said the worship leader Sunday.
"Might not ever come to rock creek or step foot in this building," explains Executive Pastor Sean McKean.
And that's okay with McKean. In fact, he's used the online service himself. "It was a Sunday morning, I was missing church, and I had the opportunity to watch the services, and to watch mark, and keep up with the music and it was a great experience," he says.
Alex Hood moved to Arkansas from Florida, and was surprised a church this big didn't stream services.
"I think it's a great opportunity for people that can't leave their home or are sick or anything like that or people that are out of state that want to experience what our church has to offer," says Hood.
So, he set up most of the technology himself cutting costs for the church.
The senior pastor thinks this can only be a positive move. "One of the drawbacks, sometimes people will say is, oh it will keep people from coming to church? Well, I don't think that's the case at all. I think it's an avenue for people to come to church," says Senior Pastor Mark Evans.
Evans says it's just another way to use technology to take the church to a new level.
"Just like we're utilizing now social media. Twitter, Facebook, now live streaming. I'm excited to see what's going to be next," he says.
Now, Evans says the church might add an online pastor, especially if the online service keeps growing.
Right now, 250 to 400 people watch every weekend, not only from Arkansas, but from Arizona, Texas, Oklahoma and New York.
