At CCM we have used volunteers in a variety of functions and roles. One of our most successful areas of IT volunteers is that of our media conversion. Every week for every one of our services we have two volunteers that take our dvd's and convert them to podcast and our archive video / audio files. They post these to the website through an interface we created for them. This is a huge ministry at our church, and we are very thankful for them.
Another group of our volunteers takes old computers and prepares them for the mission field. This is actually headed up by one of our elders. The machines are reloaded with Fedora Core 6 and a host of software and then we send them to the mission field our missions teams.
Our live streaming on our website is started and monitored by yet another group of volunteers. They remotely log into our streaming encoders and start everything. Additionally they monitor the whole service making sure that the experience on the web is optimal.
Still looking for ways to engage volunteers in IT tech.

Hello everyone,
I know this church "IT guy" personally, and I want to make sure you know that he is the best in the business. Chris has an overwhelming amount of knowledge and experience in his field. He has done things through the medium of technology that have brought groves of people to know Jesus Christ personally. That is the goal with all this IT stuff, and he keeps Christ the focus. So enjoy the information that Chris has made available, as I know he will enjoy reciprocating with you also.
Great share, thanks for writing this
