Miles Carmany

You have volunteers who care. You have a budget. What you don't have is someone who can connect the dots—someone who understands both your ministry goals and how to make technology actually work for a church. Sunday morning tech failures. Wasted money on software nobody uses. Volunteers doing their best without clear direction. These aren't just inconveniences—they're barriers to your mission. I'm Miles, and I've spent 18 years as an IT Director for growing churches. Now I help smaller churches get the same strategic technology leadership that larger churches have on staff—without the full-time salary.

Here's what I've learned from nearly two decades in church technology: The problem isn't your volunteers. They're talented and willing. The problem is they don't have strategic direction. The problem isn't your budget. Most churches are spending enough—they're just spending it on the wrong things, or buying good tools that never get fully implemented. The problem is a missing role. Someone needs to translate goals into "Here's the tech stack, volunteer structure, and plan to make that happen." That's what a Fractional CTO does. I work with churches just like yours—spending 5-10 hours a month to: Direct your volunteer team with clear priorities and systems Make sure every dollar in your tech budget advances your actual mission Prevent Sunday morning disasters before they happen Guide major decisions (new website, streaming setup, database migration) so you don't waste money on regrettable choices You get an experienced IT Director's strategic oversight—without the $70k+ salary.

This works best if you: - Have 2-5 willing tech volunteers but no one coordinating them strategically. - Are tired of making expensive tech decisions based on guesswork. - Want to reach your community more effectively but tech problems keep getting in the way. Not sure if this is for you? Let's talk. I'll give you honest feedback about whether this partnership makes sense—and either way, you'll walk away with clarity about your next steps.
