“See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland.”
Isaiah 43:19 (NIV)
Why a church in VR?
Meta Church VR exists to reach people who don’t know God, as well as those who desire a deeper relationship with Him, through the unique accessibility, immersion, and community that virtual reality provides.
We’ve found that this environment often encourages people to open up about their struggles, ask honest questions about faith, and explore who God is in a space where they feel comfortable and welcomed. For many, VR creates opportunities for connection and spiritual growth that might not otherwise exist.
We believe this technology can be used for a greater purpose, and we are committed to using virtual reality to share the Gospel, build authentic community, and help people grow in their relationship with Jesus Christ.
How to join
This includes Meta’s Quest 3S/3 or PC VR. You can join us in desktop, iOS, or Android mode if you are unable to acquire a VR headset!

Inside our world
Bible Island is a unique area within Meta Church’s world in VRChat where you can experience the scriptures like never before! It’s designed as a social space where visitors can explore God’s word, learn about Jesus, and grow in faith within a fully social environment.
Come as you are
“If you had told me ten years ago that I’d be pastoring a church where people attend services as robots, knights, anime characters, and the occasional talking animal, I would’ve laughed. Yet here we are. And somehow, in the middle of all those avatars, God keeps showing up.”
Virtual reality allows people to express themselves in personal and creative ways through customizable avatars. Users can appear as any character or style they choose, helping remove many of the social barriers and anxieties often associated with public appearance.
In Pastor Mike’s words, we’ve welcomed people from all over the world:
A note on avatars: we also understand that VRChat itself isn’t always a godly place. Coming as you are does not mean we endorse ungodly avatars, and if you do see an avatar that makes you uncomfortable, VRChat allows you to hide an individual’s avatar or block them entirely.
Founder & Lead Pastor
For nearly 5 years, Mike has served as the Founder and Lead Pastor of Meta Church VR.
Mike’s journey into virtual reality Christian ministry began with platforms like VRChat and AltspaceVR during 2017. These apps sparked his interest in using the metaverse as a serious medium for sharing the gospel. A born-again believer for over 10 years, Mike graduated from Calvary Chapel Bible College.
We are a small team with a passion to serve and a heart for God.
“As strange as that may sound, some of the most meaningful conversations about faith I’ve ever had happened in VR. Not because of the technology, but because behind every avatar is a real person looking for connection, purpose, and hope.”
“Technology is simply the vehicle. Jesus is the destination.”

Give
“Each one must give as he has decided in his heart, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.”
2 Corinthians 9:7 (ESV)
Thanks to your support, Meta Church VR can connect individuals and create spiritual growth in the metaverse! We only ask that you give out of the desire of your heart. Do not give out of reluctance.
