National Worship Leader Conference Day 1

 What a fantastic kick off to the conference this year!  This morning I was part of a panel that talked about "Stewards of Technology".  As a "Communications Director" along with my Worship Pastor role, I was given a new definition with this conversation. 

DJ Chuang has become my tech hero with his outstanding explanation and presentation on how we must identify people within our churches to own the social networking aspect of communications. Also heard from Chuck Fromm and Mark Roberts. These men brought some fantastic theology to the importance and challenges we face within the new age of social networking. 

I was invited to participate on a panel with these fellas to talk about technology within the church.  Thank you to all who participated in the great discussion. For more on the panel, be sure and visit Barry's post here.

We are excited to announce that Wisdom and Ben have been invited to teach a class at the National Worship Leader Conference in Kansas next month (July). Their class is…

Title: “Leading Your Team Through Technology”
Description: In today’s culture it is critical that we, the local church, know how to utilize technology and social media in our ministries.
