Links and Resources
Below are a set of links and resources that I've been putting together to help small town and rural churches use technology in better ways. The premise is that there are three levels that churches use. In a presentation I've put together (that I was unable to give at a conference that was cancelled due to weather) I outline these levels.
What follows below is based on those levels. (more pieces will be added as time goes on).
