Is your church using technology effectively
and efficiently to carry out your mission?
|
For over 15 years
ChurchTech has been helping churches deal with technology: from some
of the first conferences on the topic in the early 1990's to consultations and
seminars today.
You may wonder if there is really a need for
specific expertise about technology for churches. After all, most churches
have members who are quite familiar with technology for homes, businesses, and
schools. So can't churches just tap those internal human resources for the
information that they need. Sometimes they can, but sometimes that can be
risky for the church. Why?
|
So, how can
ChurchTech help your church?
 |
Seminars - attend or host one of these informative events. |
|
Consultations - get the recommendations you need by bringing the
expertise to your location. |
|
Resources - get printed or digital materials to help you make
decisions, implement changes, and minister more effectively. |
| 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investment you are making isn't outdated and mismatched by the time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. |

Did You Know... |
|
...that sometimes orthopedic
surgeons and carpenters use the same brand and model of cordless drills?
It is true. Both professionals need a reliable tool to turn a
drill bit at the desired speed, regardless of whether wood, bone, or
metal is being bored into. Even though the basic machines may be
identical, each application requires its own appropriate drill bits.
And, certainly, the skills and experience of the operators need to be
quite different. |
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
technologies that may be present in a church: office computers, a
copier/duplicator, the video projection system, the sound system, 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.
