Tech Resources for Ministry
There was a time when ministry tasks meant stacks of paper, endless sticky notes, and the hope that the photocopier would behave itself on Sunday morning. Fast forward to today, and technology has become an indispensable (if sometimes exasperating) ministry companion. Now it’s AI lending a hand with planning, and cloud-based software that helps us stay organized. Digital tools can ease the load and create more space for the work we are truly called to do.
