Church Techs – read this!

I came across this great series of posts on Mike Sessler’s blog, Church Tech Arts. Mike has four posts written for church tech volunteers and you should read them. Worship leaders, you should read these so that you’re reminded of the value of your tech volunteers and how to show them they are appreciated. Tech volunteers, you should read these to be encouraged in your role and to remember the importance of what you do.

Here are the titles and links for each post with a quick snippet. Click through and read the full posts on Mike’s site.

Church Techs: Thank You!

Being a church tech is hard work and the truth is, very few people can do it. Even fewer do it well. When you serve the church with your unique skill set, it is a sweet offering to God. He is pleased with what you do and He is pleased with you.

Church Techs: We Get To Do This!

What you do helps bring people into a closer relationship with the God of the Universe. That is a special and sacred calling; and not everyone gets to do that.

When we exercise our collective gifts and abilities, God takes it and does something extraordinary. He meets with his people and changes lives.

Church Techs: We’re In The People Business

Even though we’re geeks, and perhaps because we are geeks, we really need to be intentionally about staying connected with the Spirit. Most of us aren’t by nature people people, right? So when it comes to dealing with volunteers, other staff or church politics, we really need some help.

Church Techs: We Need Help

Now, as much as I treasure my friends and value their encouragement, I’ve learned if we really want grow and be more effective in our ministries—especially if we want to do this for a long time—we need someone, or a few someones to help us. Sometimes we call these people mentors, other times spiritual directors or coaches.
