Church AVSL

  When you think about communication in your church, you may picture the bulletin, pulpit announcements, or perhaps text messages sent to members. But what about those moments when an urgent message must reach everyone in your building immediately—from the sanctuary to the nursery to the fellowship hall? That’s where visual alert systems come in.

  RockPoint Church Chattanooga has deployed a comprehensive Blackmagic Design workflow to power both its in person and online worship services. Blackmagic Studio Camera 4K Plus G2s, an ATEM 2 M/E Constellation HD live production switcher and more now form the backbone of the church’s streamlined live production workflow. With an average weekly attendance of more than

If a congregation member missed a service, they simply missed it. Then COVID-19 changed everything. Overnight, physical church doors closed, but the spiritual mission could not.

  Hybrid worship is no longer the new thing. It’s the now thing. Many church teams are navigating in-person and digital ministry with increasing complexity: livestreaming services, posting sermon clips, launching podcasts, managing email, app and text platforms, and tracking online engagement.

Open source tools empower churches to customize their presentation setup, involve more volunteers, and save on recurring costs.

  In recent years, hybrid worship has become a lasting part of church life rather than just a temporary fix. Congregations now look for ways to connect both in person and online, and churches are tasked with designing audio-visual (AV) systems that create an engaging, seamless experience for everyone. When many churches focus on technical

When we think of churches and fellowship halls, we often think of the visual beauty—stained glass, vaulted ceilings, wooden pews, and open spaces that invite community and worship. Yet one of the most overlooked aspects of these spaces is sound. Acoustics play a central role in how sermons, prayers, music, and conversations are experienced. Good

  Growing up, I would hear my parents say, “Buy cheap, buy twice. Buy quality, buy once.” I likely heard this phrase when they were making major purchases like appliances and such. I think that quote is especially significant when considering production equipment for houses of worship. Creating powerful, distraction-free experiences that inspire, connect, and
