TECHY…LEADERS…TEAM PLAYERS…LEARNERS
We are currently enlisting a new ministry here at James Island Baptist. We are putting together an A/V Team (audio/visual). In the past, the worship leader has basically been responsible to run the whole show…production, lights, audio, sound, equipment, graphics…the whole production. Now that we have moved to a part time worship position, we need to make some much needed adjustments. Fred Hudson is currently serving as our interim worship leader. Thankfully, he has been able to be a “one man show” and has the skills to do it all. What he cannot do is be in two places at once. So, we are making the decision to have the worship leader and musicians focus on worship and music and not all the details of equipment and details. It is kind of a left brain vs right brain situation. We want the worship leader’s creativity to be focused on leading worship…not feedback loops, lighting, blend in monitors, etc. Believe it or not, this will be a new adventure for us, so there will be a little learning curve. Thank you in advance for your patient understanding.
We are hiring a local company to come in to help us get things up and running. Then he will help train our all volunteer A/V team. His services will continue to be available to the team leader and church staff whenever needed. Interested? You do not have to be a “techy” person to serve on this team. We need some who are leaders…who can schedule people and manage a team. If you would like to know more, this is the time to jump in. Our consultant, Chip Cooley, will be able to teach and train you according to the amount of knowledge you would like to know. Even our church staff will be involved in this training… and I assure I am among the least tech savvy people you know. Chip says he can teach me to operate the system to whatever level I want to learn. Sounds like my kind of guy.
Susan Warren is our staff member in charge of enlisting this team. If you are interested in joining or knowing more, give us a call at 762-0244.
Testing, one, two, three…testing
