“Just as there is a great need for technical ministries education I believe good stewardship of finances requires sound budgeting, accounting and strategic planning when it comes to investing in media equipment, sound technology and AV systems for the church. The principled use of capital, to help build and grow a ministry, can be a powerful when managed thoughtfully. My objective is help churches explore budgeting and cash flow alternatives and to make the best choice based on the particular objectives and unique situation of each church or ministry. In that regard the Technologies for Worship Conferences are a great platform for education and one of the best venues for the exchange of ideas.”
