Join our Audio/Visual Team
We need your help to make sure our new worship offerings go smoothly. Specifically, we need a small team of volunteers who can help manage our audio visual equipment. Training will be provided on these technologies.

Videographers manage our video recordings on Wednesday evenings. In the future, we also hope to live stream our indoor worship on Sundays.

Sound Techs manage our sound systems for our Sunday services.

Ministry Scheduling Begins November 1
Starting November 1, we will be using Ministry Scheduler Pro (MSP) to schedule our volunteers. This is the same software we used pre-pandemic to manage volunteers, set schedules, send reminders, and get substitutes as needed. MSP also allows you to set your preferred worship time, and block times when you are unable to serve.

We will start with readers, videographers and sound techs.

Here's what you can do to get ready.
  1. Make sure you still have the MSP app on smartphone or tablet.
  2. Check your settings to make sure we have your correct email and phone information. (Profile>General Information).
  3. Check your settings to make sure we know which service(s) you might serve at. (Profile>Service Preferences).
  4. Contact the office if you are willing to be a reader, videographer or sound tech.
