Since then, he has led his team in assisting churches with moving to a digital-first mindset.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For some churches, that means creating a custom website. For others, it\u2019s implementing smart social media practices. For others, it\u2019s developing a comprehensive plan to engage and grow their church communities online. Christopher understands church needs and challenges, as he has held several church staff positions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Born a geek, Christopher coded his first church website in 1997. In 2003 he entered Seminary, concluding his M.Div. studies just as social media reached a critical tipping point when Facebook opened its site to the public. Christopher enjoys coding in WordPress, but his primary passion is in helping churches to communicate effectively by harnessing the power of digital technologies. Based in Dallas, Texas, Faith Growth serves clients internationally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em><a href=\"https:\/\/2018.dfw.wordcamp.org\/tickets\/\">Tickets are now on sale<\/a>\u00a0for this year\u2019s WordCamp DFW held on Nov. 10-11.
