Multi Media Coordinator/Technician

I'm the kid that grew up here and joined the military service after high school. I moved around for thirty years and now I'm back. My family started attending the church in 1953 and I remember the ground breaking for the original church building.

I have been given a fancy title for someone who likes to put wires and circiut boards together. Our audio/video technicians responsibility is to enhance the worship service with audio, video and lighting effects. If you have a desire to serve the Lord in a technical way please contact me.
