While many churches have made (or been forced to make due to local civic mandates) the difficult decision to suspend in-person services, ministries and activities as we all do our part to help stave the spread of the novel coronavirus COVID-19, our mission/Wildly Important Goal to make disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world has not changed. Our buildings may be temporarily closed, but the church in the world is very much open and reaching out. We just have to consider and try new and creative methods, procedures and technologies to do that.

The technology that is readily available today makes it pretty easy to stay connected and engaged with our church and community. However, if you are unsure how to get started or fear you need a bunch of expensive equipment or a PhD is broadcasting, the CTC Communications team has resources and experience to get you rolling quickly and easily. Please feel free to reach out to any or all of the team for assistance.
