I’ve been promising for quite some time that computer training classes for Church Workers and Lay Persons were coming…well we have officially put them on a schedule in 2012 with more to come.  Our concept is to create a “Boot Camp” that will work tirelessly to get you more well-versed in the technology that seems to be everywhere around us even in the church so that when you are done you can be productive in your area of ministry.  Our first camp entitled “I HAVE A COMPUTER NOW WHAT” is for the basic user who just wants to manage their computer more productively.  Topics that will be covered include organizing your files and folders, using programs to their fullest extent, designing a church bulletin and newsletter with Microsoft Word 2010 , mail merge, etc… all geared for the church ministry worker.   Another boot camp entitled “MY CHURCH NEEDS A WEBSITE…WHERE DO I START?” will help a non-website designer work in a logical sequence while designing their first website with WordPress.  Brochures are available for your local church to distribute if you so choose or you can check out the information on our website.   All training is being done by Heather Mohnkern, a seasoned instructor, who has spent the last 24 years in the corporate training markets.  She desires to use her gifts and skills to furthering the kingdom of God and equipping the believers for service.  She is also the Executive Director of Fishermen’s Network.  She will make you feel comfortable as each session begins with a word of prayer, seeking God in the training process.
