For the first time, TFWM will be presenting specialized workshops geared specifically towards pastors and leaders. With a focus on education and practical implementation of technology, the Pastors & Leaders Media Track is a welcome addition to the TFWM family and is guaranteed to ignite the fuse of creativity utilizing technology in today’s media ministries.
The mission of the Pastors & Leaders Media Technology Track is to create channels of communication between the pastor/leader and their media/technical directors. Our goal is to help outline the importance of the use of media within the house of worship.
This conference will feature several of our best speakers in the media technology arena, along with pastors and leaders from local churches. The Pastors & Leaders Media Technology Track has been designed to compliment the seminars and workshops already presented at the Technologies for Worship Conference at the Infocomm, while at the same time offering more specialized courses for those who are the leaders and decision makers in media ministry.
