Members provide the tools necessary to connect the members of the church to one another and to connect the church to the surrounding community and the world in general through the effective use of multiple technologies. They also empower and encourage the members of the church to approach and take advantage of present and future technologies within their ministries; they provide them with the technical tools, skills and the encouragement they will need to not only be functional but also responsive to the needs of the parish community in this ever-growing technology-oriented society.
How the Ministry Works:
The ministry develops and implements strategies for the effective use of technology in achieving parish goals.
Specifically, they assist in the acquisition, development and maintenance in the technical capabilities, processes, skill sets, infrastructure and working relationships (inside and outside the church).
Expectations:
This ministry is open to all parishioners with IT skills, specifically including those in the areas of: networking, desktop computing, server maintenance, web design, and strategy development.
Each member is expected to participate at monthly meetings lasting for approximately 90 minutes.
Members will then work directly on applications or projects on an as needed basis or as projects arise.
