A time to plug in. A time to unplug. A time to discern the difference.
Your church already uses technology; from the sound system in the sanctuary to the email list in the office to the phone in your pocket. But how often do we stop and ask: Is this tool serving our mission? Is it right for who we are?
Join us this spring for Faithful Tech, the next chapter in our Regional Gathering series. These four-hour gatherings bring together pastors, lay leaders, office staff, worship teams, communications volunteers, committee members, and anyone else invested in the life of their church for an honest, energizing conversation about technology and ministry.
This is not a tech tutorial. You won’t leave with a list of apps to download. You’ll leave with a framework for discernment. A way to evaluate the tools your church is already using and the ones you’re considering, grounded in your mission, your identity, and your actual capacity.
Expect worship, conversation, a shared meal, and solid connection. Each gathering follows the same rhythm, but every community brings its own spirit.

Who Is This For?
If you’re part of a church in any role, this gathering is for you. We especially invite:
- Pastors and ministry staff navigating tech decisions
- Office administrators and volunteers managing communications
- Worship teams working with sound, projection, or livestream
- Committee and board members making budget and strategy decisions
- Anyone who has ever thought “we should really figure out our website” or “I don’t know if we need that”
You don’t need to be tech-savvy or tech-resistant. You just need to be curious about how faithful discernment might look when it comes to the tech in your ministry.
Things to Know:
- Lunch is included for onsite gatherings when you register by the deadline.
- Please avoid wearing fragrances in consideration of others.
- Casual, comfortable clothing is encouraged.
- Need accommodations? Let us know on the registration form.
This spring’s gatherings continue the rhythm we began with Faithful Listening last fall. Whether you were with us then or this is your first time, you are welcome.
