HOW CAN I MAKE SURE EVERY WEEK IS A WIN? That every song slide, video and all sermon power points are presented in a timely manner so that the service is seamless and there are no distractions. How does this ministry “reach the lost at any cost and grow them to maturity”? (our Mission Statement) It important to have the best video and slide presentation possible to attract the non churched and especially younger people. People have access to state of the art media in many areas of their lives and it is important to reproduce that high quality in church to attract the lost. Which of the 5 Biblical purposes does this ministry fulfill? Worship : By having a high quality media presentation that is flawlessly presented, it enables the congregation to worship and learn more about God without distractions.
Evangelism : in reaching out to the lost with the use of popular and high quality media it makes it appealing for our members to invite their friends to church.
