Why This Exists

The Booth Matters More Than People Think

Every Sunday, churches rely on people behind the scenes to help create smooth, distraction-free worship experiences.

Churches Need Volunteers

Tech ministries need people who are equipped and confident to serve.

Bridging the Gap

The Church Tech Crash Course connects the two by equipping tech team volunteers while opening meaningful opportunities for students to serve their congregation.
