Outreach
The age of video has come to the church. The trouble is, many churches don’t know this as a fact just yet.
The headlong rush into all-things-video occurred in our culture almost a generation ago. The seeds were sown long before that. Many of today’s older church leaders were young men and women watching a new channel on cable called MTV. Today, the story is the same, although the names have changed: Slingbox, Hulu, YouTube and iTunes.
Our culture has adapted to a new, and very pervasive, form of communication. Video speaks volumes. Many churches have realized this simple fact and are taking steps to meet the culture where it is and speak ageless truths in new ways. The age of video has come to the church.
Studio 84 stands ready to help your church meet the challenge. We can provide many different styles of video to help communicate your message to your masses.
Video Brochure: Sunday morning. You shake hands with a visitor. With the other hand you pass them a welcome packet which includes a DVD. Almost everyone will pop a DVD into a player to see what they’ve got. We can produce a media-rich experience that will guide anyone through a detailed tour of your church. They’ll meet the leadership, listen to the mission, vision and values of your church, learn about the history, hear about the programs available, and come away with a clear view of who your church actually is. It may take a visitor multiple Sundays to learn about your church, but a video brochure will get them up to speed quickly.
Internet Promo: Your church website no doubt contains a wealth of information. Not everyone who visits will want to dig through and read everything. A 3-4 minute promotional video on your front page will attract attention and increase interest in your site and your church.
Capitol Campaign: You may be facing fund raising issues. One of the best ways to encourage people to give is to show them the reason they are giving. Personal messages, video and pictures, and direct appeal are very effective in capitol campaigns.
Thematic Videos: More and more churches are including video in their Sunday morning services. Studio 84 can produce videos that illustrate the message, whether it is a just a one-time event or a multiple-week series. We can even produce Bible-based messages for small group distribution.
New Member Orientation: As visitors move closer and make decisions that lead to church membership, it’s important to include them in some sort of orientation. Often this is done in a class setting. What if some members of the class cannot make meeting? Orientation on video is a great support for classes. It allows the information to be presented again in more comfortable settings and allows for better communication and assimilation into the church.
There are many ways that Studio 84 can help your church enter the video age. If we can help you in any way, please do not hesitate to contact us at 806-698-8400 or email us at info@studio84.com.
