Worship Services

Father’s Day is more than just a day to honor the men that helped bring us into the world, but it is a day to celebrate the men that made us who we are today. This very important day is designed to acknowledge and offer praise, appreciation as well as gratitude to men we call fathers, whether it be by blood relation or mentorship.

Over the last two decades, congregations have engaged in worship through added visual elements during services.  Eyes that once were focused down on a hymnal are now more often looking up at wall-projected content.  Lately, many churches have decided to take this a step further by installing LED video walls in their sanctuaries.  These video walls enable church leaders to share customized videos, images, and text (such as worship lyrics or scripture), live feeds, and other content.

One of the most common live-streaming questions people have when they're first getting started is "what do I need?" Often the chorus of "just use your phone" drowns out the advice from people who know the limitations of that advice. In most circumstances, a single phone in the back of the sanctuary isn't going to do as good a job as a camcorder connected to an encoder. Normally, the steps from a single phone to a multi-camera live-stream, with graphics, are like a maze. You can go a long way down a single path only to find that you've hit a dead-end and have to turn around and start over again. Not so with the SlingStudio Multi-Camera Live Streaming Platform from the folks at Dish Network. Its major strength is that it eliminates the dead ends.

Preparing for a missionary trip can be both stressful and incredibly exciting--especially if it is your first mission trip. As you prepare for your trip by packing, researching the culture you'll be visiting, and getting any necessary vaccinations, don't forget to prepare yourself spiritually. Let God's Word sink in and remind you of the significance of your trip.

One small piece of equipment that can have a huge impact on the quality of sound on the worship platform is the in-ear monitor.  In-ear monitors can reduce stage volume and provide precise monitoring for individual mixes.

Everywhere you look, churches are ditching projectors for either TVs or LED walls to use for their church displays. These share one important advantage over projectors that make them attractive to churches: They are bright and they don’t require regular lamp changes, which often cost hundreds of dollars or more.

The landscape of worship is ever-evolving as new technologies play an innovative role in the modern church. One such technology is the use of music software and MultiTracks in worship. Many worship ministries today are using the powerful combination of Ableton Live and MultiTracks to enhance the level of excellence in their worship.
