Thanks for the video, it's of a great help

Does anyone have a link to a worship service that provides an example of an intentional time of focused giving? Not just taking up an offering, but intentional giving? Thanks!

And also change the title and thumbnail as well.

How were you able to remove the black background of the dove

YESSS last year we had a whole like clean up committee During quiet hour💀

Email marketing has helped us.

😂😂😂

😅😅😅

I have verified and my embedded stuff is enabled but can't see stream now classic

Hey! I am an audio engineer who specializes in church audio, and I get contracted out to not only install new equipment, but also to fix mixes, train volunteers, etc. Good tips! Something to note: please be careful with EQ, compressors, noise gates. They can be helpful, but they can quickly become part of the problem. WIth EQ, please only subtract in a live setting. Also with Compression, it can really tighten up and make your mix blend, but it can also flatten everything out or even distort. Also, the separate mix is a good shout! However, most modern digital soundboards are able to do this entirely onboard, without the need for a second physical board. It's more work for the sound engineer, but it's absolutely doable!

What type of Instagram content do you find most engaging for your congregation?

A pastor is only one finger on a hand. apostles, prophets ,evangelists , teachers, make up the other four. In a heathy assembly or gathering, they all serve together in unity to help lift people up into both their identity and into their maturity to become a Christ like person. I believe the Bible purposely does not capitalize any of the positions, only Christ Himself who is blessed forever.

😂😂😂😂

Thank you so much this is very helpful for me as a church planter. At the moment there are 10 people in our church.

@frostal66 is correct. If Slack finds out you are a religious institution they will tell you that you don't qualify for the discount. This happened to us 3 months ago when I applied for the discount and even talked to several different representatives.

This is so helpful -- thank you! I've become the social media director at our church and have been figuring out CapCut for a couple months. I typically edit sermons from my laptop -- because of how our church does videos, it's just been easier. Is there a way to do the key frames from there?

Slack won’t give nonprofit discount to religious organizations

Do you experience audio issues during your church livestream?

i can create app promotion on acc ggl grant ?

Is there ever a case where we can use the same keywords amongst ad groups especially with the grant since it’s so challenging to use all of the grant? What about using the company name (if it has search volume) throughout campaigns and ads?

This whole video is disgusting. Being called by our Precious Most High God is NOT a stepping stone to make a ton of money. Nothing like being a Servant of our Lord and Savior. A salary which will provide a decent living is what any Pastor should be paid.. Period ... I apologize....I forgot that Jesus and His Diciples were all well paid. My mistake. bullocks

I just switched to Affinity Publisher, Design, and Photo -- they gave my church four seats for free. Who needs Adobe?!

Much of these are symptoms of narcissism.

@reachright Do you really not pay for anything once using google grant? I read in a subreddit that it's not really free money because you still pay for the ads. Like for example in order to get the $10,000 free ads your budget should also be $10,000, that it would look like you pay for $10,000 but get $20,000 instead (the additional 10k is the free from google ad grant) Sorry, with that subreddit post, i got confused

I am just getting started and would love an in depth beginners tutorial on Canva. I was thinking about going with Gimp, but my Church's A/V director suggested that I check out Canva. I am most interested in creating lower thirds for use with our ATEM Mini Extreme ISO.

One of the best videos I’ve seen that gives you great information and advice. Thanks a million!

This is my church! Love it

Does your church currently use video marketing as part of its outreach strategy?

Thanks for the video. It is helpful, but I would have preferred more in depth making of one or two designs. Maybe it could be a series

😂

Amazing video. Thanks for detailed video!

If you financially contribute to a church you should be able to know the financials of the organisation...

What is the primary goal of your Google Ad Grant campaigns?

Interesting take in 2024 for churches. I am thinking the same thing to do with my church; should we live stream, invest in all this equipment and gear , or do like you mentioned, make videos on demand and make it more engaging on the socials. I do believe that in this day and age, one needs to have some sort of online presence. Which one gives more bang for a buck?

Well done

VideoSpalm , It's a free presentation software that we use. Another one is Freeshow. Thanks for the video.

Here's the thing we aren't talking about and they get paid for all of this. I'm a pastors son and have been in ministry as a pastor myself. I also have a slew of friends in ministry. Pastors do funerals and weddings and get paid sometimes very well for that. They are guest speakers and evangelists as a side gig. Many of them write books and are paid for that. There are some with side gigs or businesses they run during daytime hours and for some churches business hours don't apply to them because they can come and go as they please (Not all of them but some) so they can double dip with a church salary and a side gig ( or even a second full time job) . They are on the boards of non-profit missions groups and often are paid for that. Some of them get their college paid for specifically for being in ministry. Their cell phone is often paid for. They get free trips as the church often gifts them with ( for example 7 days in hawaii or cruises- I speak from personal experience) . Their missions trips are paid for ( some of these missions trips now cost upwards of $7k) with very nice accommodations. They do workshops and events in super cool locations and stay at amazing hotels and the church pays for it. I have pastor friends who did a big event near Disney world and the church paid for them to stay at Disney resorts and for the entire family to go to Disney world. Churches often have vehicles owned by the church that the pastor will drive on a daily basis so they get to save a lot of money. Pastor (in some cases daily) get to take people out to lunch on the church credit card and it happens to pay for the pastors meal as well. Pastors have so much free food thrown at them. Pastors get discounts that are sometimes beyond what US military get. They get what I used to call "handshake hundred dollar bills", where someone reaches out to give you a handshake and there's a $100 inside the hand. Also pastors get some of the coolest missions trips ever cause let's be honest, some are staying in 5 star hotels. Did you know that some churches pay for the pastors golf? They do, I've seen it with my own eyes. I could go on but no one wants to read that. Ill just say this. These guys aren't mistreated, or poor. They are ABLE to delegate much of the church work, live nearly free in some cases and get a very cushy salary in this day and time. I've played golf with many of them and they spend money like water. I've seen a lot of stats that say the average is mid $75k and that is above the average salary overall in the US. It's very sneaky but it goes far beyond "here's what the average paycheck is for a pastor". The average doesn't even begin to touch what pastors get paid or what he saves in daily cost. My dad was a hard working pastor and I loved and respected him. There are many of them I love and respect. Don't take this all as hate. It's not. Some do take advantage of the system and for those it should be shameful. However the other side is that some churches allow that. It can be hard work but there are many who have it very good. The salary part is just a small portion of what they get paid.

THANK YOU! Bless you for helping churches!

Amen! Church Marketing is spreading the Gospel and getting new Church members.

You didn't mention Faithlife Proclaim? Easy to learn. Syncs via the cloud between machines. I created and worked on the Sunday morning presentations for our Canadian church while living in Israel. I don't consider very expensive either.

Hi, the menu bar doesnt work on mobile home page alone. Any idea how it can be fixed?

We were recently denied by Asana - Here is what they said, " Currently the discount is only available to officially registered nonprofits, excluding organizations that are healthcare-related, religious or governmental in nature."

Great insight for someone looking to meet with a potential church's search committee.

Thanks for the review but there this church I attended and there were display song lyrics like subtitles on a video feed

I work in the pest control industry so I go to sometimes 10 houses a day. In most cases pastors are living very well in very nice homes. No matter how nice the person is it always puts a little bit of a stain on the way that I look at them. I understand that they have to support their family, and I’m not expecting them to live in a trailer park, but it just doesn’t sit right. It’s a very sticky situation. I feel like that they should live no better than the average person in their congregation and what I see a lot of the times is them living like the top 5% of their congregation, maybe even 1%.

What should be the most important feature of a church website?

I don't see it mentioned anywhere with this video but ... churches can apply for free access to the Canva Pro version. Canva makes their service available to registered charities for free. You're not stuck with their "free" version when you want the "pro" option.
