Hey there, welcome back to the Worship Mentors Collective video resources for worship ministries. Today, we’re diving into a topic that’s absolutely essential for a seamless worship experience—your church’s tech team. Whether it’s sound, lighting, or multimedia, the tech team plays a huge role in how your congregation experiences worship. That’s why we’re excited to talk about Clay Collins’ session on "Building a Great Tech Team." Let’s break down some of the common pain points that churches face when it comes to tech and how this session can help you overcome them.

First up, let’s talk about technical difficulties during worship. We’ve all experienced it—microphones cutting out, slides not advancing, or lights suddenly dimming at the wrong moment. These glitches are more than just annoying; they can disrupt the flow of worship and distract from the message. Often, these issues stem from poorly trained or unorganized tech teams. In Clay Collins’ session, you’ll learn how to build a tech team that’s not just reactive but proactive, minimizing disruptions and ensuring everything runs smoothly.

Another major challenge is the lack of communication between tech and worship teams. When these teams aren’t on the same page, it can lead to problems like unbalanced sound levels, awkward transitions, and even missed cues. This session will provide strategies for improving communication and collaboration between your tech and worship teams, so you can create a cohesive and professional worship experience that’s free of unnecessary distractions.

And let’s not forget about the struggle many churches face in recruiting and retaining tech volunteers. Finding people with the right skills—and keeping them engaged—can be tough. When tech team members burn out or leave, it can lead to inconsistency in the quality of technical support during services. It is important that you know how to attract, train, and retain a dedicated tech team, helping you build a strong, reliable crew that’s committed to excellence.

So, if you’ve ever dealt with tech issues that disrupted your worship service, struggled with communication between your tech and worship teams, or found it challenging to keep your tech volunteers, this session is for you. "Building a Great Tech Team" with Clay Collins is designed to help you overcome these obstacles and create a tech team that supports and enhances every aspect of your worship services.
