Much has been written on the topic of excellence in the production of church services. In fact, it’s been written about in this very blog. As a recovering perfectionist however, I’m beginning to revise my view of excellence. Some define excellence as perfection; in fact, one church tech I know said if the service wasn’t [...]

Surviving VBS
Last week was VBS for us (though we call is SVBS). As it was my first SVBS since coming to Coast Hills, I wasn’t quite sure what to expect (aside from a ton of really amped up kids screaming their cheers). I had some initial meetings with the kid’s ministries staff to talk about the [...]
Easter Week
It’s Easter week, so we’ll all be pretty busy. But I thought I would quickly give you a quick glimpse as to what we’re doing at Coast Hills. Our Easter service is a fairly big deal, but the big production is Good Friday. Our Good Friday service is a very special production that contains no [...]
Sustainability–How Do We Achieve It?
Over the last few weeks, I’ve been writing about sustainability. If you missed the previous 2 posts, you can read them here and here. The first post is about what sustainability is not. The second talks about reasons we don’t tend to live sustainable lives. Today, I want to explore how to live sustainably. Now [...]
Continual Knowledge Upgrade
Most of you have probably guessed by now that I’m a geek. I thoroughly enjoy being around technology, talking about technology and figuring out how to use technology to enhance the mission of the Church. That’s why I have the job that I do.

Help for Scheduling Volunteers
Scheduling volunteers is probably the least favorite part of my job. It’s not that I don’t like my volunteers, but keeping track of the schedules, and keeping everyone on the same page is a big job. Now that I’ve taken on scheduling the support teams, the list of volunteers I’m responsible for has grown quite [...]
The Upper Room Announcement
Today, we’re taking a break from our usual techie stuff to talk about some of the exciting things God is doing in the midst of Upper Room. I find it good to do this once in a while, as it’s easy to forget that we serve a higher purpose than great audio and video… First, [...]
It’s All Just Gear
I was struck by something recently. And just so you know, this will not be a techie post. I spend a lot of time writing very technical stuff here, but working in a church, our job is as much about people as about technology. Maybe more. Anyway, back to what struck me. In our staff [...]
