The longer I work in church tech, the more I see it as an opportunity to not only build good teams but also to mentor young techs. We are exhorted in God’s Word that older believers should teach younger believers. I think that this extends to any ministry where you are involved in teaching. The lessons learned while serving the Lord can stick with them throughout life. We can help young techs see how their service is important to the body. We can find teachable moments to remind them and guide their thinking about working with others, responding properly to authority, and faithfulness. Take a minute to listen, encourage, laugh and cry with them. Yes, they’ll learn some tech things along the way, but being a positive role model in their lives is something they will not soon forget.
