The Goal Isn't to Make Your People Afraid of Technology

It's to make them harder to fool.

After the Lab, your team should know how to slow down, recognize common warning signs, verify suspicious requests, and respond more safely.

Built for Churches That Don't Have a Cybersecurity Department

Pastors. Church administrators. Finance teams. Staff. Ministry leaders. Volunteers.

Especially small and mid-sized churches where one person may wear five different hats before lunch.

Hi, I'm Mitch.

I'm a technology teacher who believes complicated technology should be explained in plain English. I created ScamSmartChurch to help ordinary church people recognize scams without making them feel foolish, frightened, or overwhelmed. I’ve spent 30+ years helping everyday people—including church leaders, volunteers, and adults over 55—use technology with greater confidence and less fear.
