 Tech/production team (and what do they do)?

Every week, the goal of Tech/Production is to help facilitate meaningful experiences and life-changing encounters with Jesus by fusing music and art with technology. It is both creative and technical as we seek to help create environments for people to worship on a weekly basis. To achieve this, we have a team of dedicated volunteers who serve in a variety of areas. This includes but is not limited to:

  • Video
  • Lighting
  • Sound
  • Stage Design

 

If you are interested in serving in Tech/Production, we would love to have you join our team. It is helpful to have an artistic eye or ear, but experience is not essential, and training is provided!

What is the commitment?

Sundays: You will be provided with a schedule of which weekends you are needed. (this is typically once every other week or once every 3rd week depending on your role) Call time also varies depending on role.
You will also be involved leading up to and during large productions (e.g. Easter, Christmas).
