The demand for congregational leaders to understand the role of technology in congregations in the 21stcentury is growing exponentially. This doesn’t mean you have to be a tech expert, it means only that you need to know what’s possible, what’s feasible, and how to make the most impact with the resources available.
In this workshop, we’ll explore:
- The scope of technology in congregations today
- Keys to an effective technological front door
- Connecting with members and friends technologically
- The role of social media in congregational life
- Using technology in worship services
- Best practices in virtual meetings
The workshop is designed for:
- Board members
- Ministers, Religious Educators, and other staff
- Communications Committee members
- Membership Committee members
- Other congregational leaders
