Contract It Out
a welcomed practice.
Over the past twenty years or so the church has seen some welcomed changes in its attempt to be relevant and current in today’s world. Churches are finally able to hire trained staff to help produce quality music, dramas, videos and more for their worship services. They hire trained teachers and leaders to head up the various ministries throughout the church. We have come a long way.
Where the church has struggled in recent years is in the area of web design, publications and graphics. We have graduated to using high dollar video projectors only to project text with solid colored backgrounds. We have tens of thousands of dollars in copy equipment only to put out clipart with text. We have great web addresses that lead to web sites that don’t do our churches justice for who we really are. For years we have had to settle for less because we were unable to afford his priced professional staff to do the work in these areas. For people like me this has been a frustrating road. No money to get it done right.
For those of you that suffer as we do in this area, there is hope. The hope lies in a growing trend that many churches are welcoming with open arms. The hope is that churches will embrace this opportunity to create a better representation of who they are and who they stand for.
Contracting or “farming out” has been used in the business world for years. Web designers use graphic artist to create graphics for their sites. A general contractor will hire out several sub contractors to build anything from homes to airplanes. There are hundreds of examples of companies that practice, with great success, this principle of contracting or “farming out”. It makes great business sense!
