The Web-Empowered Church is a ministry of Christian Technology Ministries International Inc. (CTMI) and is managed by a two-member leadership team. The Leadership Team includes:

Mark Stephenson, the "Church CyberGuy," is the Director of the Web-Empowered Church and Vice-President of CTMI. Mark also continues to lead the Internet ministry at Ginghamsburg Church in Tipp City, Ohio. Mark started the Ginghamsburg Internet ministry ("CyberMinistry") in 1997 as an unpaid servant and has continued to lead the team ever since. The Ginghamsburg web site has over 4000 pages, over 30.0 GB of streaming video, is known for its many unique features, and has received national recognition in television news, newspapers, and books. Due to the growth of the ministry, in March of 1999, he joined the Ginghamsburg staff one day per week. Then, in order to pursue his God dream of web-empowering the Church, on February 16, 2004, Mark left his full-time job as Chief Scientist of a Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC) Operation in Dayton, Ohio to joyfully and somewhat fearfully :-) enter into full-time CyberMinistry.

Mark is also a well-known speaker on CyberMinistry as he conducts presentations, workshops, and roundtables around North America. Mark has also provided consulting support to numerous churches around the world to help them develop their web ministries. In an effort to support more ministries, Mark authored the popular book titled Web-Empower Your Church: Unleashing the Power of Internet Ministry.

Mark has a Bachelor's Degree in Electrical Engineering and Applied Physics from Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio, and a Master's Degree in Electrical Engineering from University of Dayton in Dayton, Ohio. His education and 25+ year career have focused on researching, developing and applying advanced computer/software technology. He believes this is one way God has prepared him for this unique ministry challenge.
