The  purpose of the Sight & Sound (Media) Ministry is to carry the Gospel of Jesus Christ to our visually-driven, ever-changing world through the use of technology and media, and to equip other ministries of the church to use digital and electronic media as a worship and outreach tool.

This ministry not only provides the technical support required for our worship services, but also records various events, teachings and sermons, which are made available on DVD and for viewing on our web site. There  are many opportunities for you to serve in Sight & Sound Ministry. Ebenezer’s staff are here to help you learn what you’ll need to know and have fun in the process!  If you would like more information about our Sight & Sound (Media) ministry or want to volunteer as a team member, contact Walter Steven McLeod or email SightSound@EbenezerAMEChurch.com.

Opportunities to serve:

Video Camera Operator –
The camera operator works behind the cameras during services and acts as the eyes of the director. The director will communicate over headphones as to what he or she wants the camera to be doing. At this time, we have 3 Sony High-Definition cameras.

Director –
The director is in charge of recording the worship service. He or she instructs the camera operators over headphones and chooses which camera will be recorded or sent to the screens during the service. This is done  by watching monitors for each camera in the control room and using the ‘switcher’ to choose the camera wanted at the time.

Audio Engineer –
You will control the volume levels for all mics and instruments used on  the stage mixed in the media booth or video control room.

PowerPoint/Monitor Engineer–
(Easy Worship) – Located in the media booth, you will work on a computer and change lyrics, announcements etc. that are projected on the projection screens.

Web team
– You can join the web team as a contributor to content by using your writing, editing or photography skills. We are using a “content management system” or “dashboard” that allows us to add content to the
site without the need for coding or programming skills.

Photographer
– If you have a digital camera, are familiar with sharing files online and are interested in taking pictures of people, we need you! We need pictures of church life, services and events taken on a regular basis.
