Filed Under (church IT, roundtable) by Dave Mast on May-9-2007

I’ve been seeing posts all over the place (here, here, here, oh and here) about local Church IT Roundtable events happening across the country.  I think this is AWESOME.  I had the opportunity to attend the first CITRT at Granger last year, and I benefited in a huge way from it.  I wasn’t able to go to Houston for the spring Roundtable, but from all the notes I’ve seen elsewhere, it was a great time for those who were there.  (Trust me, I’m not going to miss the “Fall Edition” ;) )

With that in mind, I’m going to throw this out:  Are there any IT Directors/Coordinators/Volunteers in churches in the Central/Northeast Ohio area that are reading this blog?  If so, are any of you interested in getting together for a roundtable-type discussion?  I’m really interested to hear what anyone has to say on this.  Leave a comment if you’d be interested and we can start talking about what this might look like.

Hi Matt,

I am not an IT director, but I want to be. I volunteer at my church, http://www.laccnc.com, and am slowly getting involved there as I can spare the time from my full time job in the Air Force in IT.

I would love to get something started in the Dayton/Cinci/Columbus area. Brett from Christian Life Center in Dayton and I started talking about it yesterday–something big is happening with everyone blogging about it.

peace!

This would be closer to me than any of the other RT’s so far. I’d see if I could swing it. Madison, IN is about an hour from Cincy.

I’m definitely willing to go south or southwest to make this happen. I didn’t mean to make it sound “exclusive” by mentioning Central/Northeast Ohio. If we can settle on a location and time, I’m there. :-)

Dave - part of my responsibilities at First Christian Church in Canton, OH include IT oversight and direction. We currently outsource most of our IT work to a member who owns a local IT company. I think it would be great to connect up with you and/or other IT professionals in the area with purpose to discuss Church IT applications, etc. By the way - I caught a few minutes of your ustream of today’s services and was impressed with how you moderated the chat during the stream. We’ve been wanting to stream for awhile now but just haven’t applied any energy toward it…. More I could say, but it’s late… send me a quick email and let me know if you’re interested in meeting sometime.
