The new approach drove an infrastructure upgrade led by (left to right) Technical Director Tim Miller, Associate Producer Timothy Khadvongsinh, and Creative Director Josh Rivas at Christian Life Center in Stockton, California.
If you asked a room full of church techs to raise their hands if they produced worship services primarily for people sitting in the seats, two years ago most of those hands would’ve shot up high. Today, ask that question and many of those same hands don’t rise. Because post-pandemic, the worship experience that’s crafted is equally for people engaging through a remote screen—TV, computer, tablet, phone—as much as from the physical worship space.
The difference is all in point-of-view, and it’s forcing church teams to think differently, envision their services in a fresh way, and rely on innovative new tools to spread the Word.
"...we realized we needed to simplify our broadcast by removing long announcements and long pauses." - Josh Rivas, Creative Director
Nobody understands this critical shift better than the production team at Christian Life Center in Stockton, California. The Christian Life team has moved full-circle since 2019, and they sat down with Church Production Magazine to say why they did it, how they did it, and what tools they use now to capture and share worship from a whole new point of view.
