AllThingsNew.Tech was founded by a group of people from Silicon Valley in the San Francisco Bay Area. We are convinced that the Church needs a place to explore the intersection of technology and theology.
Life in the Silicon Valley is infused with an ardent optimism that technology will solve the world’s problems. We want to pursue the exciting innovations that technology has to offer without losing our Christian hope in the gospel of Jesus Christ to redeem and restore this world.
