Investing In Your Technology Ministry

Being computer illiterate is not a legitimate excuse when the need for having a Technology Ministry in your church is essential to get your church vision outside the walls . While the world is growing at a rapid rate everyday, many churches are falling behind, because they refuse to adapt to, as well as, invest in tools necessary to reach the masses.  It amazes me when I hear people say; "I'm too computer illiterate, I really don't know enough about computers to use it to promote our ministry". Just imagine if pastors claim to be bible illiterate, as the reason why they cannot successfully teach God's message. In many cases, that might be true, with some of the messages I hear being taught these days, but that's another topic I care not to address right now.

If you want to have a successful Technology Ministry, you have to develop and train people who are willing to make the commitment to do the job. You will often find that most people who are eager and committed to do the job, is not skilled to do so, and those that are skilled in technology, are more focus on earning a paycheck than devoting time to ministry. So how do you address such challenges? You address such challenges by first having the right equipment in place, and second, be willing to invest in training for those who have the heart and commitment to perform the job. This often requires hiring someone to come in and train, or enroll your ministry team in workshops and seminars whenever possible. If you want to build a successful technology ministry, you need a room equipped with computers, internet access, and printers. Ministry is often a revolving door in which people are constantly joining the church and leaving, so unless you setup a technology room with equipment dedicated to doing the job, you will always be crippled when people leave, because you rely on them to invested in there own equipment to do the job, and when they leave, their equipment also leaves.
Plain and simple . . . If you invest in the equipment necessary to run a successful Technology Ministry, God will certainly send the right people committed to doing the job!

Developing Your Ministry Website

It's important when creating a website for your ministry, that it not only reflects your organization's overall vision, but you make sure you have people in place to consistently manage and update your website and the flow of it’s content. Oftentimes when churches consult me for website development, the one thing they often struggle with most is it's content. Having content means taking the time to plan and write out the vision of your ministry and gain knowledge and understanding about how to project the vision of your ministry to the public. The word says in Habakkuk 2:2 "Write The Vision And Make It Plain".  Not having content for your website certainly creates a lot of challenges for your web designer. Most people place that pressure on the web designer thinking that just because he/she designed the website, he/she is also responsible for it's content, but that is far from the truth. In order to keep your website successfully updated, it requires participation from all leaders, making sure that the web designer is kept up to date with fresh content and information. Knowing what strategies to have in place to move the vision of your website forward on a consistent basis, needs to be address before taking on the task of developing a website for your ministry? Please Visit And Like My Facebook Page
