Projection Ministry - Quality Counts

As you will often hear me say, the most important thing you must remember in any ministry is QUALITY. Remember, we not only serve the King of eternity, WE REPRESENT HIM! I have never understood why churches spend a great deal of money on building and grounds, yet don't have the money to properly fund technical arts. What good is a building if the peole can't properly see or hear the message?

Having started the projection ministry in our church from scratch, I have experienced the initial complaints, and then the wave of "wow, I never realized church could be so exciting" comments that follow. Projection will help your church RETAIN the message like you have never imagined, but it must be done properly - with quality. Stay far away from clipart (it was designed for newsletters, not presentation screens and web pages).

Web sites such as www.churchmedia.net have media exchanges in which you can download ready-made backgrounds that you can download for a very small annual fee. If you have someone with image design talent in your church, invest in Photoshop or Photoshop Elements (there are just no substitutes for Adobe's image design software). You can get QUALITY free and cheap pictures at www.sxc.hu to use for custom designs.

Next time we will look at how you can expand on the ministry through the use of video. Visit often or subscribe to our blog to make sure you don't miss any of our posts.
