Churches pioneering the multimedia craze are leading conferences across the country training churches and church staff in the effective use of multimedia in worship and preaching. In light of this phenomenon this study seeks to examine the following hypothesis: parishioners who are exposed to multimedia sermons will have higher perceptions of sermon effectiveness than parishioners not exposed to multimedia sermons. The quantitative research results of the study reveal that out of 40 dependent variables used to operationalize an effective sermon, only five show any degree of significant variance. The five variables are sermon organization, giving a mental image, being involving, being creative, and likability. Qualitative research results of the study reveal that no difference exists between the multimedia sermon and the non-multimedia sermons in the areas of being able to recreate the biblical message of the sermon, the sermon having relevance for life, the sermon being engaging for the listener, and the sermon bringing forth feelings in the listener. On a seven-point scale the subjects rated multimedia with a '3' as being more effective than a non-multimedia sermon. Overall the research results reveal that there is no significance of variance between multimedia sermons and non-multimedia sermons preached in this project. Four strategies for preaching multimedia sermons are then presented.
