Before I went into the ministry I worked in Sports & Entertainment marketing. I designed multimedia presentations and websites, and dabbled in design. And now, I find myself working long hours on creating a consistent look (we call that branding) for the church I love. I want the world to know what a special place I serve. I want my senior pastor to leave confident that God's message will be communicated, in print, on the web, in the pulpit.
Usually, I try to shy away from letting many people in my church know about my marketing and business background. As a second career clergyperson, I sometimes wonder if my employment experience invalidates my call. Ministers are supposed to be more spiritual, less reliant on technology. They should be studious, less likely to connect with others through such tenuous threads as social networking sites.
Some may call me a geek... they don't know the half of it.
