IT Services
In order for us to serve effectively as TeachBeyond members, it is imperative that we have effectively functioning technology (computers, tablets, smart phones, etc.) to be used in local ministry contexts as well as to communicate with TeachBeyond colleagues and ministry partners. The TeachBeyond IT Services Department strives to help ensure new TeachBeyond candidates are adequately prepared with their devices prior to beginning service while also providing ongoing support for members on assignment.
