Running easyworship with livestream how to#
In Part I of this blog, we spoke about using as a general teleconferencing solution for meetings and gave you 10 tips on how to ease your church’s move to online meetings. The primary assumption here is the limit on time, resources, skill set, or some of each. If you can’t access your media streaming options at your church, don’t want to set up a complicated option at home or never streamed a day in your life, here’s a straightforward tool you can use and the strategy you can roll out. The above scenario (#3) is what this blog would address.
Your cloud apps would allow you to stream from anywhere. E.g., (bought by Vimeo) is a popular streaming platform. Grabbing one of your cameras from church and setting up a small studio at your pastor’s home may be the way to go. Based on the platform you are using to broadcast your service online, they may allow you to do the same from anywhere using a cell phone or a computer with a camera. You or your media team may already know what to do in this case. Already streaming, but can not or are not willing to ask a team and platform to host a program at your church?.Others, like what we did, are running an online-only live service. Some are recording a modified worship service the day before then streaming it as a premiere (live-like experience) to avoid potential internet bottleneck issues. Having access to our typical media system was less complicated for us.īased on who our PastorsLine clients are, many of you are doing the same thing or something similar-in other words, using a minimal crew, an abbreviated program, and a platform. We considered the initial gathering guidelines (at the beginning, it was no more than 250) and felt limiting this to 10 was appropriate. It was easier to do it this way, given the short notice for us to close church that week. Our church did this and limited the total number of people to 10. If you are already live streaming your service, you likely know what to do if you are willing and able to go to your church location with a small crew. Are you already streaming and can go to your church?.Your ability to effectively reach people virtually is critical, and the question is, “how can you do this?” First, where is your church at the moment, and what are your options? What about those who become ill? Or those financially affected by the economic changes due to lost time or wages? These people need prayer more than ever but must also follow the guidelines for everyone’s good health and keep themselves isolated. This limitation on the size of a gathering means that some people are not going to be able to worship in church.
Some countries, Israel, for example, had already dropped the number of people to a maximum of 10 several days ago. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) advise keeping group meetings to less than 10 for roughly the next two months (lowered to 250 then 50 a few days earlier). We could talk in general about “what if”, but we don’t need to-the “what if” is here.Īt the time I am writing this, the U.S. The question is when those opportunities present themselves and the standard options to drive to church and fellowship are removed by said crisis, how can your church quickly adapt and implement an appropriate strategy to ensure you are shining the light of hope to those who may find themselves more rooted in the cave of despair? We know many of us may be at different spiritual “levels”, but as a connected family, we support each of our brothers and sisters through prayer and words of encouragement.
At the same time, though, an opportunity presents itself where those who are attending church but wavering or those who are not regular attendees, all find themselves in a desperate need and search for God. In times of national or international crises, our faith is tested.
