MINISTRY DESCRIPTION

The purpose of the Multimedia Ministry here at Moraine City First Church of God is to carry the Gospel of Jesus Christ to our visually-driven, ever changing world through the use of technology and media, and to equip other ministries of the church to use digital and electronic media as a worship and outreach tool. This ministry not only provides the technical support required for our worship services, but also records various events, teachings and sermons, which are made available on DVD and for viewing on Facebook, YouTube and here on the website.

MINISTRY MISSION

The ministry’s mission is to glorify God by ensuring that His Word and our praise to Him is seen and heard clearly and without distraction within our church and throughout the world as it’s broadcasted or distributed on media with the highest video, audio, and production quality available.

MINISTRY OUTLINE

Although this ministry covers all local church needs that have to do with audio and visual technology, the most requested and needed functions of the ministry include:

• Broadcasting live audio and video to the internet.
• Recording audio and video during regular church services and special events.
• Audio and video editing or recorded services and other special events for archive, broadcast,
• and production.
• Production, duplication, and distribution of recorded audio and video files to fulfill order requests,
• Providing audio and video support for evangelistic outreach and other special events outside of the church building.

How Do I Get Involved?

Do you have a natural gift for electronics, sound or video equipment? Or maybe you just have a strong desire to learn, along with a passion to serve the body of Christ?

There are many opportunities for you to serve in the Media ministry. We are here to help you learn and have fun in the process!

We are looking for those who desire to continue to learn, who are team players, and most of all are committed to do their ministry. It does not mean you have to start out knowing anything about A/V, just have a learning attitude and a willingness to be lead. Volunteers will be trained for any specific technological skill or knowledge required for the ministry responsibilities, so the only prerequisite to volunteering is a willingness to learn and comfort in handling and using technological devices and equipment. Needed roles include:

Video Camera Operators - The camera operators works behind the camera during services and acts as the eyes of the online audience.

Audio Engineer - You will control the volume levels for all mics and monitors used on the stage mixed in the media booth.

Web Team - You can join the web team as a contributor to content by using your writing, editing or photography skills.

Photographer - If you have a digital camera, are familiar with sharing files online and are interested in taking pictures of people, we need you! We need pictures of church life, services and events taken and edited on a regular basis.

Video (other than taping weekly services) - You can join the video team as a camera operator and/or editor for special productions. We are constantly recording events and testimonies or creating short videos for web site use or promotion of ministries. If you are already making home videos you have a head start, but if not experienced, just let us know.
