FAQ This all looks good, but our sound tech(s) have day jobs, any ideas on how to get them there? Offer to send them and pay their costs. When was the last time you invested in the discipleship of your sound ministry people? Having an inspired, equipped sound tech might be a better investment than getting $1,000 worth of new gear. This investment could save you a future headache.  Sample Costs: $______ Conference Cost (early bird) $320 Round Trip Airfare to Columbus FREE Friday Lunch  Our church sound is already awesome, why should I send somebody? As churches grow and develop, sound needs change.
