Our Purpose
To build a Christian community where non-religious and nominally-religious people are becoming deeply committed Christians. We do everything possible to fulfill this purpose directly and to help Resurrection's other ministries make effective use of technology as they also strive toward this purpose. Our users' mission is our mission. Additionally, we take very seriously our responsibilities for information security and high availability of all of the mission-critical services we provide.
