Not long ago, I read an article arguing that live streaming doesn’t benefit the Church. Is that true? Surely, we have refined our process and found ways to engage live stream worshippers, making it easy for them to pivot to in-person worship if they decide that’s an option for them.

It’s entirely possible to make a thorough tech plan, design a perfect system, and then end up with gear that is installed way over budget. Even worse, it may not even meet the complete scope of work. The reason for this often comes down to working with the right (or wrong) technical ministry partner.
Church leadership and tech teams have a perennial problem: maintaining technology systems crucial for ministry, both in the sanctuary and online.
