Program Overview

Each module is approximately 1-hour in length and divided into short segments for easy reference.

MODULE 1

Ministry Strategy for a Video First World

We 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 key strategies is included.

MODULE 2

Video Production and Presentation

Focusing on videos you can produce using your computer webcam and smartphone, we'll cover basic video tips and on-camera presentation best practices. This module covers essentials that can be applied whether filming with a smartphone, webcam, or other video camera. 

MODULE 3

Your Video Engagement Engine

We discuss a system (routine) for using video messages to promote engagement in congregational life, with worship serves as the primary example. This approach may be used with other aspects of congregational life and both online and physical gatherings.

MODULE 4

Building a Digital Path to Membership

We cover strategies for using video to support an online process for newcomers to connect with and join your congregation. I call this the "digital path to membership."  Much of our previous welcome, newcomer orientation, and intro class offerings on-site now need to be available online! 

MODULE 5

Additional Strategy and Implementation Tips

A range of planning, strategy, and implementation considerations are addressed.  This content is based on program member questions.

In addition to this module, recordings of all previous class Q&A sessions (Spring 2020, August 2020) are available.
