What I Do

I've had so many people ask me, "exactly what is it you do at Crossroads?" Or when I tell them I work at a church and I'm the "tech guy" they give me a strange look as though they can't believe a church would need a full time technical person. So, I'm going to begin putting down in writing what I do.

This will be a work in progress as I begin to really think through how to explain what I do without boring the average person. A tech guy who works in TV, video production, or another church will be able to relate, but the average person will probably still give me that strange look. If you want more information about anything I discuss here, please comment and I'll get back to you.

I will start with a general description of what I do...Everything.

Well, not everything...I don't do children's ministry, but I do oversee the projectors, audio systems, DVD players and any other tech stuff in these areas. I don't teach Crossroads University classes on our theology, but I do make sure the people that teach these classes have a projector, or PowerPoint, or any other tech stuff they might need.

But the basic job description for what I do is that I get lights, video, sound, graphics and stage set up done for all services and events at Crossroads. I don't have to actually do all the work, but I have to make sure it happens. I have over 50 volunteers who help out in one way or another. I'll get into this a little more later on also.

As I continue to write over the coming weeks, I'll explain things like what applications I use, what equipment I use, what kinds of training I make available and anything else that comes to mind. Have a question about something technical at Crossroads? Let me know and I'll do my best to answer it.
