This course has been approved by the General Board of Discipleship as an advanced course in Lay Speaking Ministries. The use of multi-media technology in worship is growing at an exponential rate. Congregations of all sizes are acknowledging the gift of media technology; however very few have access to formal training. Rev. John Zimmerman brings his 20+ years of pastoral ministry and his gift of implementing multi-media technology in worship to this seminar. Students will be introduced to the hardware and software in worship technology and discover their ability to plan, create and implement technology in a worship setting. The workshop will also help the student learn about worship itself and the role of technology in design, appropriateness and excellence. Special consideration will be given to budget and a low-cost approach to technology implementation. This workshop is designed for the church volunteer or pastor who would classify themselves as "beginners" in multi-media experience. (Please note that since the workshop utilizes some software that is windows-based MAC users may find some limitations. The course content will include:
-Intro to Worship Theory
-Vision-casting, resources, structure
-Budget
-Projectors, computers, sound
-Multi Media graphic resources
-Worship presentation software
