The present study aims to bring evidence of how the evangelical church Abba Pai is positioning itself in its theological and philosophical action within the cyberspace, since the COVID-19 pandemic has brought different approaches to the church in the Brazilian context (TAVARES, 2020; MAZZAROLO, ZANINI, 2021). In a dialogue with the philosophy of religion, the area of digital technologies and theology I seek to trace the paths in which the search for God manifests itself within the cyberspace (SPADARO, 2011), through the analysis of interactions present on the church's YouTube channel, which is also present in other media in the virtual world. Thenceforth, it will be displayed different means by which the faithful person search for the divine no longer only in the stone temple, but within the digital realm present in the mediatized and highly globalized contemporaneity (PUNTEL, 2010).
