The purpose of Technical Ministries is to use the gifts, abilities, and resources that God has given us to complement a service or special event at NorthCreek Church. We believe that the teaching and worship of God has been, and can be, accomplished without assistance from Technical Ministries. With that understanding we praise God for the gifts, abilities, and resources He has given, and we do our best to be as invisible as possible as we humbly serve.

We are committed to providing technical support to a service or event without causing a distraction or bringing attention to our ministry.

• We are here to encourage one another, including those whom we support technically.
• We are committed to being professional in every way possible.
• We are submissive to each other and to our leadership.

The volunteer Technical Crew provides audio, duplication, graphics, internet, lighting, stage, video, and stage support for the worship services, special services and events.
