Ventures in Christian Discipleship
The last Ventures course for the 2015-16 season,
Technology for Congregations, will be held April
23rd from 9:00 a.m. until noon CDST. In this course,
there will be opportunity to explore various
strategies to improve congregational communication,
visibility, and even outreach by leveraging
technology solutions that are affordable and
appropriate for different contexts. Conference calls,
virtual meetings, phone trees, email strategies,
websites, streaming or recorded services and
copyright considerations will be some of the topics.
Of special interest will be an hour devoted to
Internet safety with guest presenter Brandon Lutz, a
school district internet specialist in the greater
Philadelphia area. Time will be set aside for
addressing specific questions and concerns that
participants bring from their own congregations.
Enten Eller will be the presenter. He has owned and operated his own computer business for over 30 years, is the former webmaster and Director of Distributed Education, Electronic Communication, and Educational Technology at Bethany Theological Seminary, serves as a streaming video specialist (broadcasting various events, from international webinars to Annual Conference), and is currently team-pastoring the Ambler (PA) Church of the Brethren with his wife Mary, as well as the Living Stream Church of the Brethren (a fully-online church based in Portland, OR) with three other pastors from different states. His goal is to share technology in a way that is understandable, accessible, and appropriate, while building community across geographic boundaries.
