Welcome

We’re glad you’re here. 😊 No matter your experience – you are welcome on this team. Some of us came with loads of experience, and others none! Together we create engaging, seamless, and distraction-free experiences so those gathering with our church can concentrate on hearing the message of Jesus and worshipping him passionately.

You are invited to bring your gifts and talents to the table. Everyone here is seen as an empowered contributor, so don’t hesitate to ask questions, and to give input on creative and technical conversations.

We’re often working with a lean team, and (especially as a mobile church) troubleshooting and workarounds are needed on the regular. We’ve come to expect it, so don’t be discouraged – we love tackling complex problems together with joy!

Our team culture is best learned through time and experience, but below are some words we hang our hats on.

We Worship First, Work Second

When we’re running around and doing technical production stuff, it can be so easy to lose our focus on why we do this. It’s easy to retreat behind our equipment and get caught up in the task. Or we can even love the work we’re doing, and be pleased with ourselves – and still lose sight of why we do this.

First and foremost, we are here to worship. God has loved us first, not based on anything good we have done – and we are responding with our “thank you”: serving him with our gifts.

You don’t need to impress anyone on this team or at our church. There’s no one here to impress. Your Father in heaven is already proud of you. Not based on anything you’ve done, but simply because he is love, and extends love freely to his kids. Paul explained this in 2 Timothy 1:9…

“He has saved us and called us to a holy life—not because of anything we have done but because of his own purpose and grace.”

Our Worship Commitments

Everyone on our team commits to some crucial rhythms to keep worship our first focus:

• We are present to join in pre-service prayer with the rest of our staff and volunteers church at 8:30. We are inviting the Lord to show us his love, that we might love others each well. All of us are empowered to participate out-loud in prayer – not just staff and ‘stage’ people.
• We pray as a Production Crew before each service. In the few minutes on comms before each service, someone on the team prays God’s blessing over our work and the service ahead.
• We engage in worship while we work. Our team remains present to what God is doing in the room, fighting the instinct to get lost in our tasks. We engage with God – we sing along, we lift our hands off of our cameras and light boards and put them in the air. We listen to what God is speaking to the room through the preacher.
• We lay down our work at times if we’re being called to minister. Call out of teardown to pray with a friend. Put your camera down for a moment to say a quick prayer over someone the Lord is putting on your heart.

In the end, all of this intentionality to be worshippers first leads to better production. The Spirit is invited into our work to lead and guide us — to inspire our creativity, and show us where to point our cameras to show off what he’s doing in the room.

Remember, without the love of and partnering power of God, nothing we do matters. Now, let’s talk about the work.
