#2 | OPTIMIZING WIRELESS EQUIPMENT
Numerous teams strive to manage their resources effectively by self-installing wireless equipment, adeptly handling cable connections, yet grapple with the coordination of the crucial RF operation, pivotal for the equipment’s functionality. Furthermore, apart from the frequencies generated by internal devices, shared air space often harbors activities from external entities, leading to potential interference. With the holiday season intensifying community activities, any prevailing interference might exacerbate, posing disruptions during festive gatherings. To preempt such disturbances, it’s imperative to proactively address these concerns beforehand.

#3 | Managing Incandescent Fixtures
It is essential to verify whether the fixtures containing incandescent lamps possess either recently replaced or sufficiently long-lasting bulbs that can reliably perform until the end of the year. Undertaking sudden lamp changes without prior preparation can pose significant challenges and distractions, especially in areas of the stage dependent on uninterrupted and consistent illumination. Prioritize proactive maintenance to avoid disruptions during crucial events and ensure seamless stage performances.

#4 | Maximizing Congregation Engagement
Emphasize the importance of comprehensive communication to ensure all members stay well-informed. Utilize the diverse array of communication channels at your disposal, including leveraging digital signage across your church campus and live streaming platforms. By effectively utilizing these tools, you can efficiently update your church community about upcoming worship sessions and events. Given the rapid filling of calendars during the holiday season, providing timely and detailed information can greatly contribute to attendance and participation. If your current setup lacks the capability to seamlessly integrate media into live streams, consider investing in the necessary resources without delay to enhance the overall engagement and communication experience for your congregation.

BONUS | Elevating Your Worship Experience
Any and all of your production elements by no means compare to the power of the Gospel being showcased at your church; these elements are simply the tools we use to bring attention to it and communicate it. With that said consider incorporating a few color-capable lighting fixtures to impart a distinctive ambiance to your holiday services. Retaining these enhancements for the following year is a way of continuing to grow and build your services.

CO-DA HOUSE OF WORSHIP
I am excited to meet and partner with churches as they advance in technology for worship. With over 40 years of experience in broadcast video, audio and lighting I continue to serve as the Broadcast Director at First Baptist Church Indian Trail and also Producer for the “Decision for Life” televised program. Serving the church is a great pleasure and working with volunteers is always fun. Helping churches mobilize and use the many forms of technology to share the gospel message is such a pleasure and a ministry in itself. So thankful for the great support given to me by my amazing wife Kathy and our great family.

With a background of 14 years as a Worship and Communications Pastor in the Charlotte region, I’ve been deeply involved in serving the local church. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Worship Ministry from Liberty University and a Master’s of Divinity from Liberty Baptist Theological Seminary. During my leisure hours, you’ll find me fishing, playing music, relishing the outdoors, and cherishing moments spent with friends!
