We help our customers (Resurrection's staff, volunteers, and guests) make effective use of information technology to enhance and accelerate ministry in support of the church’s purpose, vision, and journey. We are responsible for the availability (it’s working), performance (it’s fast enough), functionality (it has the needed features and produces the needed results), and security (the information is safe) of all the applications, infrastructure, and services we provide.
