The fall is a time for planning for the new year. Budget requests should be submitted in a timely manner, to allow for adequate consideration of needs for Technical Ministry. Equipment does wear out, requiring troubleshooting and repair. The Church needs to have a budget that supports these types of issues:

• Critical equipment fails, requiring immediate repair
• Support equipment needs troubleshooting and repair
• Technical equipment needs replacement
• Security concerns need to be addressed

An adequate Church budget will include funds to cover these types of expenses. But be sure to be good stewards in the process.
