What We Do

Production Crews: Every Sunday, our team works behind the scenes, making sure the mics and cameras are working, the sound system is in balance and our video stream and photos are top-notch.

Special Events: There is always something going on to support our many missions.  Each event requires a unique mix of multimedia technology to get the word out, provide sound and video for gatherings, setting up Zoom meetings and other apps.

Website Creation:  Running an engaging website is a team effort involving web page design, graphics, photos and writing.  For the more adventurous, there are online forms and managing our WordPress platform.

Community Support: We strive to assist all church groups in achieving their missions.  Breaking down barriers to effective use of technologies is essential and includes a community technology forum, easy access to expertise, training and “How To” resources.

Technical Platforms: Managing our technology requires a secure and reliable foundation of computers, networks and other devices. Effective use of applications and underlying databases is key to unlocking the potential of technology to assist in achieving our goals.

Strategy: Drawing on team expertise and that of knowledgeable members of the church community, the media team offers recommendations and advice to leadership on priorities and pathways for church technology.

Mission: The Media Team coordinates activities related to church information and multimedia technologies and helps other teams realize the full potential of our platforms.
