IT training and equipment
The Family Friendly Churches Trust can particularly help churches with the installation of IT equipment in Churches. Mike Bossingham has been leading PowerPoint Courses for many years and can give solid advice on the purchasing and installation of projectors. The choice of projectors these days is very wide. Churches need to make good purchasing decisions and then make the best use of the equipment they have. You can find out more at www.familyfriendlychurches.org.uk/mmweekend.htm
Alternatively you may feel that you would like some intensive training for yourself. The trust runs residential courses at Willersley Castle in Derbyshire. As a minister you should find that you can use your CDIM allowance to pay for such a course. You can find out more at www.familyfriendlychurches.org.uk/resident.htm
