Program Overview
Week 1: Ministry Strategy for a Video First World
We'll look at the dominance of social media video, its impact on how people learn, consume media, and make decisions, and the implications for your ministry. An overview of the course and included strategies will be included.
Week 2: Video Production and Presentation
Focusing on videos you can produce using your computer webcam and smartphone, we'll cover video production and on-camera presentation best practices.
Week 3: Powering Your Engagement Engine
We'll walk through my recommended strategy for using video to promote engagement in congregational life, whether that's 100% online or includes physical gatherings. We'll focus on building excitement, interest and participation in worship services and small groups though you may expand to include other opportunities.
Week 4: Building a Digital Path to Membership
We'll cover specific strategies for using video to support an online process for newcomers to connect with and join your congregation. In my trainings, I call this the "digital path to membership." Everything that has been part of your welcome, newcomer orientation, and intro class offerings on-site now needs to be online and available on-demand.
Week 5: Advanced Strategy and Implementation
Our final session will be customized based on the progress, needs, and interests of participants.
