Is your church as healthy and effective as God wants it to be?

For 19 years ChurchTech has been helping churches function more effectively for the sake of the Great Commission: from some of the first conferences about ministry technology in the early 1990's to consultations and seminars today.

ChurchTech is focused on church health, NOT technology. Technology offers some great tools, but the tools are only useful for accomplishing the task. When ChurchTech started advocating that churches should use Bible Software, Church Administration Software, video projection, and websites, there weren't many sources for training on those topics. Now, thankfully, that has changed. We still help churches deal with technology - especially planning and budgeting for technology to help accomplish a broader vision. But, our primary effort now is consulting churches about general health and growth concerns leveraging technology to accomplish a key part of the assessment.

So, how can ChurchTech help your church?

• Custom Solutions - Do you need ongoing help to get the technology ministries in your church on the same page? Are you building a new facility and want to be sure that the technology investment you are making isn't outdated and mismatched by the time the building is done? Is your judicatory eager to help its member churches struggling with technology problems, but unsure of how to accomplish that goal? For these and other circumstances, contact ChurchTech to arrange the best mix of onsite assessment and distance advising to deal with your special situation.

ChurchTech is unique in several ways:

• Depth of Experience - Brad Miller has been a visionary who predicted the significant impact that video projection and the Internet would have on ministry. Well before ChurchTech was conceived of as a name, he was working with computers and audio-visuals in churches.
• Breadth of Experience - As an ordained Lutheran Pastor with experience including interim ministry, church-planting, and church construction, Brad Miller understands parish ministry. He has worked with churches representing more than a dozen denominational traditions. Whether sending laptops to Tanzania, designing and building a low-budget, high-tech worship facility in Iowa, resolving a congregational "vision-collision" in Ohio, or assessing the best location for a church to build on in Colorado, he has worked with local leaders to accomplish the task.
• Systems Approach - Consider the variety of systems that may be present in a church: technology, facilities, constitutions, small groups, education, and most critically, the different groups of people that either use or receive the benefits of all these overlapping systems. Getting the most results and value out of these different systems requires understanding the entire congregation as a system. As a trained and experienced consultant, Brad Miller understands how to connect professional knowledge with individual assessment to find solutions that work in each particular context.
• Church Growth Orientation - Brad Miller's work with churches always has a single over-riding theme: to help them better accomplish the work of the Great Commission. He shares the general view that it is important for churches to understand what they are doing well and what they could be doing better. Using the important analytic gifts that God has blessed us with allows us to honor such a blessing while humbly realizing that the ultimate outcomes of belief and salvation are accomplished solely by God.
