Purposes of the National Church IT RoundTable:
To meet other IT staff and volunteers
- Encouragement – “I am not alone.” “Here I am understood.”
- Confidence – “I’m not so crazy after all.”
- Relationship – Develop on-going friendships
To advance the diffusion of innovation in a given topic area
- Sharing knowledge, lessons learned, and experiences
- Sorting out the big picture. How does it all fit? Where are we going?
- Synergy of new ideas, new perspectives, and new dreams
To facilitate collaboration
- Explore opportunities for teaming up to accomplish common goals
- “Network” – Learn who knows what and who is doing what
A roundtable is a peer-learning event where the participants are both teachers and learners. A roundtable is:
- Small enough to emphasize interactive learning
- Led by a facilitator and peer
- Includes participants who have an affinity with each other
- Does not include a strong agenda beyond sharing knowledge

C-TECH workshops are specifically designed to address the needs of audio visual technicians, whether volunteers or employees.

Do you wonder how your church can deepen their commitment in order to further the reach of your ministry? Are you looking for ways to increase involvement and foster a greater sense of belonging?
Itʼs a well-known fact that a more connected church is a more effective church. Good stewardship goes beyond finances and extends to how well you help people build relationship with God and with each other. The challenge is to identify the right strategies, tools and tactics to increase connectedness with the highest possible return on energy and the lowest possible load on staff and leadership.
Come join your peers and industry experts for two days of interactive dialogue and learning. You will lean the latest trends in social media and how they are relevant to building meaningful community. You will also discover how to better your use of CCB (if you have the application). As an added bonus, you will walk away with your own custom social media strategy that you will be able to begin implementing in your church immediately. You will hear stories from other church leaders about how they have leveraged strategies and technology to better understand the involvement of their church and promote more effective outreach. Finally, you will hear and discuss the differences between a crowd and a tribe as outlined in Seth Godinʼs latest book “Tribes”.
