Media Team E-mail

Though best described as a "thankless job," there is no more important place of service in Worship & Arts. Literally everything we present is supported by an army of technicians. Sound technicians benefit from having an "ear" for music and mixing, but Media ministry makes involvement in Worship & Arts a real opportunity for a host of non-musicians.

Serving on a weekly rotational schedule, those with aptitude for video, computer, sound and/or electronics provide essential support for our weekly celebrations. Personnel are trained "on the job" with current team members.

 
Service Stage Assistant E-mail

In addition to the work of our Media Team, there are a variety of tasks to be completed before every corporate worship gathering. Several workers serve on this team so that everyone can serve on a weekly rotational schedule. The assistant on assignment meets with the worship leader prior to worship rehearsal on Sunday mornings to determine needs and instructions. Typical duties include moving of chairs, music stands or instruments and ensuring proper stage set-ups for music

and drama, clearing debris from the stage area, checking a/c controls, carrying messages to the Media Team and communicating special sound and lighting set-ups, setting of props for the sermon, and proper placement of pulpit furniture. The assistant is also available during worship rehearsal to assist with determining volume levels and sound connections on stage, and serves as a resource person for special guest artists and programs.

 
Web Team E-mail

Our dedicated team of volunteers is on loan to various ministries throughout the church. Their job is to keep the web pages for their assigned area fresh with vibrant new content and pictures. Good editorial skills and an eye for

content are more important than web design skills. If you have good general computer skills and want to get involved, contact our Church Office. Training is provided.

 
Media Lab E-mail

In addition to the full audio/video installation in our worship center, we have a complete Media Lab. With this lab, we have the capability to created and edit all of our own audio and video projects. Many of these projects find their way into our worship

services as commercials for events and support for worship and Pastor's sermons. The lab is equipped with a MAC, video editing software, and audio mixer, decks and processors. Training is available for those who would like to learn this specialized production art.

 
Wednesday Support Team E-mail

The personal schedules of our weekend sound technicians often do not allow them to assist with set-up and monitoring of our 8:00 p.m. Wednesday rehearsals, although this session is critical to our weekly preparation. Set-up is

usually minimal for these weekly sessions, but it helps to have personnel at the sound board to make minor adjustments as needed. Technicians serve on a weekly rotation and as needed.

 
Duplication Team E-mail

Recordings of weekly sermons and series are made available to our guests through the Resource Center. This weekly duty includes conversion of CD recordings to cassette (when

needed), creating and printing labels from templates, duplicating the recordings, and packaging them for distribution.
