For 18 months I have been dreaming about and working on this project and so today I'm excited to finally announce that the Church Technology Guide is here!  For the past 5 years I have been asking church leaders what their greatest pain points are when it comes to technology and in the coming months I will be responding to those pain points with practical solutions.

This is a guest post from my friend Jeremy Smith.  I have followed Jeremy for many years online as he is a leading voice in church technology and innovation.  Enjoy these insights from Jeremy as he shares some thoughts on Social Media and the Church:

Technology is important in keeping up with the latest advances, and it is no different in the church setting. The biggest thing now is live streaming of our weekly worship services. Since we have many elderly people in our congregation, worship services are very important to them because it may be the only constant that they have in their life. Knowing that they can go to the computer and watch the weekly service--especially if they are homebound is of utmost importance. It is imperative that there are people in the congregation who can assist in this area so that this can be accomplished.

We love trying new things at Community Bible Church!  Easter weekend is naturally a unique weekend for most churches.  At CBC we will be having 10 different services with 3 different experiences in 2 different venues.  It's also the weekend that we have more guests than any other weekend making it very confusing to communicate to that first time guest.  

This week the WELSTech Podcast is all about Getting Things Done in the church and school office, and Staff Minister Jon Ruddat shares his productivity success story. This is good for anyone who has an office-- how we can be productive and organized. Loved the technology ideas

I can't be more excited to announce that I will be the new host of the Social Media Church Podcast.  I have been incredibly honored to participate in the conversation as a guest and incredibly honored to now lead the conversation as the host.  

I cannot be more excited to announce a new service that I have dreamed about for years! Since launching Online Church at Community Bible Church I have been asked to tell the story over and over again about how we launched an online campus in a week and now reach 15,000+ people from more than 160 different countries each week.

I'm excited to introduce you all to a good friend of mine, Chris Tripputi. Chris and I have known each other since Kindergarten and have had the privilege of serving together in ministry for many years. Currently Chris serves as the Online Church Director with me at Community Bible Church as well as running a fully functioning creative agency for churches, My Square Creative.

On this episode of the WELSTech Podcast we explore many alternatives for file sharing in the church and school office.

About 7 years ago I first started experimenting with live streaming using a platform called Mogulus (now Livestream.com).  We simply hooked up a handy-cam to a laptop and were live!  It wasn't fancy, but it worked and thanks to social media we literally doubled our audience in a moment.  I've learned a lot since this time and took almost a 5 year hiatus from live streaming.
