As we have modernized our church over the years, we have added many components to our service. Although these advances are not required, they can be helpful tools for our worship service and our ability to share information.
A typical service requires slides, sound (upstairs and downstairs), and video. All positions are designed to serve our people within the church, and they have become a valued part of our church service. Training is available for all areas. 
Expectations:
Slides
  • Use a Mac computer in service to advance slides and play preset videos. 
  • Edit/add slides during rehearsals 
  • Available rehearsal times are Thursday evenings, 6-8 PM, and Sunday Mornings, 830-930 AM.
Video

  • Record the service as needed to offer digital media.
  • Before the service, make sure the system is functional and working correctly.
