Mission, Vision and Goals:
The mission of the Communication and Information Technology Connectional (CIT) Department is to assist the Christian Methodist Episcopal Church in using communication and information technology tools and resources, and to connect, unite and share information within and beyond the walls of our church.
 
Our Purpose & Strategic Goals
Technology as a common thread for our CME Church must be standardized to present a common brand to CME members and those outside the CME Church.  We endeavor to:
(a)    Administer the official Web site of the Christian Methodist Episcopal Church, www.c-m-e.org, and provide connectional Web site standards and best practices.
(b)   Prepare the general Website format for all connectional departments and Episcopal Districts.
(c)    Establish standardized email, social networking, and information technology communications at the connectional level.
(d)   Make needed information easily available to all members by developing communication and public relation strategies.
(e)     Recommend information technology solutions that will enhance the delivery of services, participation, and attendance for connectional meetings and conferences.
(f)     Recommend information technology solutions that will enhance the ability of each department to deliver and amplify its message to the CME Church and outside organizations.
(g)    Assist local, district, and regional CME church entities to enhance their IT services and delivery.
(h)   Identify technology discounts for the connectional church and generate revenue for the connectional church by developing a CME Tech Shop.
(i)     Provide technology classes and summits at the Annual CME Convocation and other connectional events.
