Email and money safety.
Churches lose real money to fake emails, from changed contractor payment instructions to gift-card requests that look like they came from the pastor. We set up the protections and the simple payment habits that stop them.
Practical tech guidance for churches, from someone who's served in one.
Fixed-price reviews and projects for Upstate SC churches: Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, email security, and finance and expense practices.
What I help with
Finance and expenses, with a clear trail.
Approvals, church cards, reimbursements, and a month-end picture your finance committee can use. If a spend tool such as Ramp looks useful, I can help you decide whether it fits and how to set it up.
Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace, set up right.
Whether you're on Microsoft or Google, we'll make sure you're on the right licenses (including nonprofit pricing where your church qualifies), your accounts are secure, and nothing depends on one volunteer's password.
Sunday-ready networks.
A review of your Wi-Fi and livestream connection, with clear recommendations your team or vendor can act on.
Clear scope, clear price.
Every service has a fixed price and a written scope, so you know what you're getting before we start. No long-term contracts.

Want me around after the project?
A small monthly retainer of $225 covers up to 2 hours a month of questions, a yearly technology review with your staff or finance committee, and a heads-up when Microsoft changes something that affects you. Business hours only; I'm not an emergency help desk.
Need a help desk?
If you need someone to answer every "my printer won't work" call, I'll help you find a managed IT provider that serves churches and make sure the handoff is smooth.
How it works
- A free 20-minute call. We talk through what's going on and whether I'm the right fit.
- A written scope and fixed price. You approve it before any work starts.
- I do the work and walk you through it. You get a plain-English summary and a short list of what to do next.
Hi, I'm Chase.
I've spent most of my IT career serving churches, and I'm a member at a Southern Baptist church in Greenville, where I serve on the finance committee. My day job is in Microsoft cloud technology, so I know Microsoft 365 and Azure well. I started this because many churches run critical systems on one volunteer's goodwill, and the people managing the money don't always know how much risk they're carrying. I work on a project basis, so you get focused help without a long-term contract. I keep things simple, I explain them in plain English, and I'd rather ask good questions than sell you something you don't need.
FAQ
Do you work with churches outside Greenville?
I serve churches across the Upstate, with on-site visits in Greenville County and nearby.
We have a volunteer who handles IT. Do we still need this?
Maybe for a specific piece. I can review your setup, fix the Microsoft and security items, and leave clear notes your volunteer can follow.
Do you provide ongoing support?
I offer a small optional check-in retainer, but I'm not an emergency help desk. If you need that, I can help you find a provider that is.
Do you do sound, video, or lighting?
I focus on the network, email, and computer side, and I'm glad to work with your AV team or vendor.
Can you help us get Microsoft's nonprofit pricing?
Yes. That includes checking whether your church qualifies through TechSoup and Microsoft, which requires an IRS letter or coverage under your denomination's group exemption.
We use Google, not Microsoft. Can you still help?
Yes. The checkup and the cleanup services work with either, and I'll tell you honestly which one fits your church better.
Can you help with expenses, cards, and paying vendors?
Yes. The Finance & Expense Review covers approvals, expenses, cards, reimbursements, budgets, vendor payments, and month-end reporting. If a spend tool such as Ramp looks useful, I can help you decide whether it fits. I'm not a CPA or an accountant. This is a process and tools review, not accounting, audit, or tax advice. Payment-fraud controls are covered here and in Email protection.
Can you build or fix our website?
Yes, for simple church sites. For larger or custom needs, I'll tell you up front and help you find the right partner.
How long does a project take?
Most are done within about two weeks of approving the scope.
