What's happening in GT Church's Tech Ops

Taking a title from 24 and some of the guys & gals on CITRT (Church IT RoundTable) I'm calling the IT Department Tech Ops here.

I've been with GT since January 2008 as part time staff holding the position of IT / Web Administrator working 3 days / week (approx 20hrs). I started as an outside contractor back in September of 2006 when our Lead Pastor, Bryan Koch asked me to help them get a website going. The rest is history.

We went from using an outside firm to handle IT with our Director of Operations and our Multimedia Director handling day to day issues, to having me on staff along with a handful of volunteers for doing things from servicing PCs, loading software, etc., to working on a revamp of our website.

We are in the final stages of our Forward By Faith building program, in which we have built a 16000+ sq ft KidZone for ages B-5yrs old (which is open and being used), and our 1500 seat Worship Center that also has a large atrium with the new Sacred Grounds Cafe Grill along with Scrolls Bookstore, and more. This new building encompasses approximately 45000 sq ft of space. You can see the plans at http://www.gtaog.org/220930.ihtml.
