IT that keeps worship,
livestream, and giving online.

Specialized IT for Midwest churches with volunteer AV teams. We design so handoffs don't break Sunday morning.

Built for

Single-campus, multi-campus, or online-first churches with volunteer-driven AV teams and a need for Sunday-morning reliability.

Challenges we solve

What every Midwest
church IT lead worries about.

Volunteer tech turnover

Your AV volunteer team changes every two years. The know-how shouldn't leave with them. Every cable run, every login, every service runbook is documented in your client portal — so the new team can pick up where the last one left off.

Livestream reliability

When the service starts at 10:00, there's no retry. We do pre-service health checks, redundant network paths, cell failover, and on-call coverage for high-traffic services and holiday weekends.

ChMS + giving platform integration

Planning Center, Tithe.ly, Elvanto, Realm, Pushpay — we configure, integrate, and monitor every platform you depend on. SSO where possible, audit logs everywhere.

Donation data security

Member, donor, and giving data is a high-value target for phishing and ransomware. Encryption at rest, MFA enforced, dark-web alerts, and quarterly access reviews.

Children's check-in & access

Self-service check-in kiosks that don't crash on Sunday. Photo verification, label printing, name tags. UniFi Access doors with audit logs for the children's wing.

Multi-campus & hybrid services

Sync between main campus, satellite locations, and online services. Site-to-site VPN, centralized identity, and a single dashboard for IT.

How we build it

The stack we deploy
in every Midwest church.

Same enterprise-grade tooling Fortune 500s run — tuned for AV-heavy, volunteer-led environments.

Monitoring

NinjaOne RMM

Live monitoring of media PCs, kiosks, and staff laptops. Self-healing scripts when AV software locks up.

Endpoint security

Huntress EDR + SOC

24/7 managed detection on every staff and volunteer laptop.

Network & access

UniFi Network + Access

Wi-Fi coverage for sanctuary, lobby, children's wings, and offices. Access-controlled doors with audit logs.

Backup

Slide backup

ChMS database, media files, sermon archives — all backed up with quarterly restore tests.

Email defense

Avanan + GoPhish

Block phishing emails targeting staff, finance, and giving platforms. Monthly simulations.

Identity

M365 + MFA

Conditional access, MFA enforcement, SSO to ChMS platforms where supported.

What changes on Sunday

Our Sunday-morning pre-flight.

For every CoyotePack church client, we run a documented pre-service checklist before doors open.

  1. 01

    90 min before service

    Automated health check on stream encoder, network, media PCs, kiosks, and ChMS sync. Anything yellow gets a ticket.

  2. 02

    60 min before service

    AV lead confirms livestream test, audio loopback, and check-in kiosks. Volunteer onsite walkthrough.

  3. 03

    30 min before service

    On-call CoyotePack tech available by phone for any escalation. Cell failover armed.

  4. 04

    Post-service review

    Stream metrics, kiosk error logs, ChMS sync confirmation. Anything that broke gets root-caused before next Sunday.

We also know these worlds.
