We Have a Unique Position
We discovered a secret that many churches have yet to find:
how to use technology to connect with people in a FUN and meaningful way.
We create videos, take epic photos and use social media to engage and relate with any who would listen. There're many factors that influence how we see God, so we share personal experiences, life hacks, fun content, and open dialogue to help show what it means to follow God IRL (in real life).

how we use technology
We use technology to solve problems around the church. Yes, we run the audio and visual equipment on a weekly basis, but we also use technology to witness on a daily basis. A big picture idea of what we do is:
- Run the audio and visual equipment to enhance the worship experience
- Run the Social Media accounts
- Help the other ministries connect with the outside world by creating video announcements, updating the website and utilizing social media strategies.
Below are some examples of what you can help create.
