Mission
The mission of the Technology Ministry is to design, develop, acquire, deploy and maintain first-class, cost-effective, accessible/useable audio/visual/media and information technologies to support Beltway’s overall goal of spreading the word of God.

Discussion: While the audio/visual/media technologies are well-defined and deployed in Beltway, we shall need to build an overall information technology infrastructure with the Internet and Web as the linchpin technologies for that construct. Building such will help enable the work of other BCOC Ministries and provide critical, real-time, decision-making information needed by the leadership and general doctrinal information for the church membership

Organization: The Technology Ministry will be organized into two distinct, but interdependent functional areas. We understand that to properly perform all of the functions of the ministry will take lots of time and resources.

Action Plan: We conducted the initial Technology Ministry planning meeting on January 19, 2008, at which time we developed our calendar year 2008 action plans. Also, at that time, ministry members identified the areas in which they are interested, have expertise and wish to work. While the functions not yet being performed may seem daunting, we will prioritize them by importance to ensure that everything we undertake is doable, can be resourced (staff and money) and has value to the church as a whole. Subsequent actions plans were developed for calendar years 2009 and 2010.
