The AV ministry enhances the visual experience in worship through the use of the Sanctuary screens. This ministry supports the music and worship by ensuring appropriate volume levels and minimizing feedback and other disruptions. Currently, the AV duties at a livestreamed service require management of the soundboard, the service PowerPoint presentation on the screens, and the videorecording of the service using our two Mevo livestreaming cameras controlled by the church’s iPad. People working the soundboard need to arrive at least 20 minutes before the service to set up the cameras and iPad for livestreaming of the service, to set up people with lapel and hand held mikes as necessary, and to check the sound level of the microphones that will be used during the service. Throughout the service, it is important to anticipate the need to turn mikes on and off and to adjust volumes. The board is labeled to make this job easier and first timers will work with veterans during the service to become familiar with the board’s operation. This ministry is not only required for Sunday services but also for other services such as weddings and funerals and special events like the Christmas pageant and annual meeting of parishionners.
