House of Worship

If you are a smaller church, the investment into live streaming can sound daunting from the PTZ (pan-tilt-zoom) cameras to managing live streaming software and troubleshooting possible technical issues. It can be overwhelming in the beginning, but it doesn’t have to be. Here are a few things that you can look for when deciding on your live streaming solution.

Lead Pastor at Park Hill UMC, Nathan Adams, highlights that they started with no live streaming at all up until March of last year, and they are now streaming to Facebook, YouTube, their own customizable web player with LiveControl, reaching people across the country that have never attended in-person services before.

While stay-at-home orders have decreased physical attendance at churches over the past year, live streaming has given churches the opportunity to reach a much wider viewership.

Worshipping from home may not be the same as physically gathering in church every Sunday, but that does not mean that your community has to be any less connected during this pandemic.

Now that online worship has become the norm, houses of worship have to transition all aspects of their services online and this includes tithing and donations.

Accepting donations is one way that congregants engage with and stay connected to their church. With current stay-at-home orders, how can they give from their homes?
