Does your Church have a lot of IT talent on the Technical Ministry Team? Some Churches are blessed by this, where the volunteers just take care of IT support issues on their own. Other Churches hire one or two IT staff to handle issues at the Church, such as:

• Networking, hardware and software
• Computer support issues by staff
• Worship support issues
• Other services in need of computer support

Whether you have great staff or great volunteers, if you have the expertise, then look for ways to share it with other Churches and related ministries. You could have any of the following opportunities:

• IT equipment swap; make sure any computers have been erased and the OS reinstalled, to avoid sharing malware
• Meetings where you discuss IT issues and solutions with other Churches
• Training on various software; some older adults struggle with it
• Cyber Security issues; how to avoid getting hacked

The needs are there. People need more IT support than they can usually afford. By sharing your expertise, you are providing a ministry to your congregation and community.
