We help our pastors, staff, faculty, students, volunteers, and guests make effective use of information technology to enhance and accelerate ministry and education in support of the respective missions of Resurrection and Saint Paul.  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.
