TechnoEvangelism Seminars

July 15th, 2009

In September 2009, Bishop Louis Hunter (Presiding Prelate of Mid Atlantic 1 Episcopal District, A.M.E. Zion Church) afforded me the opportunity to give a presentation during Holy Conclave, addressing technological mediums for evangelism. I was also afforded the opportunity by Rev. Dr. George W. Maize III to do a follow up presentation at the Jersey City District Conference.

It is my passion to empower small to medium sized African American churches with the knowledge and tools necessary to extend the ministry of their church and to building community through web technologies. The task does not need to be expensive and can bridge generational gaps! Read More or Comment…

Metropolitan Computer Room

July 01st, 2009

I think web technologies rock! Sometimes I forget that the world isn’t linked in, internet savvy and riding the www wave. There are great people who need fundamental help with operating computers and using Word Processing software.

Hopefully, having a computer room in the ‘big stone church on the corner,’ might foster positive relationships between the congregation and the local community. Perhaps, we can host sessions and seminars to empower every age group (children to seniors) to use common software packages and the Internet. Read More or Comment…

Youth Church

July 01st, 2009

Ummm… I don’t really think that I am ‘called’ to youth ministry. However, I am ordained and I am younger than the rest AND the youth and I have a GREAT time together learning the Word in relaxed environments with relevant truth.

Youth Church in my context, since it is not an unique phenomenon, is an initiative for ages 5-18 to worship in a separate sacred space once a month during the morning worship experience. At Metropolitan A.M.E. Zion Church in Jersey City, NJ, Youth Church happens on the second Sunday. The primary component is worship/teaching with training (in the offices, traditions and doctrine of the ‘big church’) being the secondary aim. Read More or Comment…

PixelPew

July 01st, 2009

Pixels to digital imagery are inches to a canvas. Pixels are a unit of measurement, associated with elements viewed on a screen, usually reflecting the RGB (red green blue) light spectrum. There are 72 pixels per inch. Pews are… church benches

UPDATE! Pixelpew is a reality! Click Here. Check it out!

The entrepreneur within me seeks to launch PixelPew as an e-commerce initiative to provide web and print design and development resources to ministries and churches. The freelancer in me, needs nurture, perseverance and time management before the entrepreneur can blossom! Read More or Comment…

VCYC

July 01st, 2009

The purpose of the VCYC is to comprise an official organization that provides representation for the youth of the denomination. VCYC shall coordinate their activities, channel their concerns and present their collective contributions to the African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church.

I am currently serving as the President of this great organization (Tenure 2006-2010). It is an awesome task and failure ebbs and flows. Nonetheless, I look forward to triumphantly concluding the end of my term Read More or Comment…
