The development of metaverse technology has influenced various aspects of human life, both in the fields of education, religion, and various other work activities. Activities that were originally face-to-face became virtual media. This certainly opens a lot of people's eyes to feel comfortable with the virtual world. For this reason, the purpose of this study is to explain the description or concept of how Christian education strategies in the church enter the era of metaverse technology. The method used in this study is a descriptive qualitative research method with a literature approach. The results of this study are how Christian education strategies in the church enter the metaverse era, including: 1) being creative and innovating in carrying out the great commission, 2) creating a contextual Christian religious education curriculum in the church, 3) strengthening teaching with contextual Christian theology, 4) expanding church services by utilizing the development of metaverse technology, and 5) conducting intense evaluations of each church ministry.
