Sound, Vision & Media Team
The team assist the Gatehouse Church Pastor and Leaders with media presentations, graphic design and technology solutions.
Production & camera
Sound and vision is run by volunteers who are responsible for ensuring the in-house Sunday service and livestream is prepared and broadcast for each Sunday service.
Sound & audio
The sound technician is responsible for mixing the sound to create the best music mix possible, creating an audio mix that meets the mood the pastor/worship leader wants to convey. They also support the audio needs of the people involved with the church service, both inhouse and on livestream. Ultimately, glorifying God through providing excellent audio services.
Media
Our team looks after the projection of all media in the auditorium on Sundays. This includes song lyrics, Bible verses, videos and slides.
Livestreaming & livestream moderation
We have been livestreaming the Sunday services from the Gatehouse Church since October 2020 when in-house services were not being held due to the pandemic. It was a steep learning curve for the only volunteer at the time. Today our team are still learning with every new challenge that arrives.
The stream is sent to our YouTube channel and this provides a way for regular viewers and members of the Gatehouse who are perhaps isolating or ill at home, to feel connected and not miss out on a service. There is a live chat where viewers can interact with us or send their prayer requests. A member of the team usually moderates the chat.
We also hope that by livestreaming our services which reaches people worldwide, that we are fulfilling the call, in some small way, to "Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation".
Our team is still learning as we go along and we are not experts in any field but we are willing to learn new skills and are passionate about serving the Church in this way.
Website, church app, admin & database
Our website and app is regularly updated with the latest news and events on the church calendar. Weekly podcasts are uploaded to the sermon archive. We also keep the members database up to date and administer the site.
Graphic design
We make use of graphic design in a wide variety of ministry settings, including video, social media, PowerPoint presentations, discipleship materials, posters, flyers and handouts.
Photography
Some members of the team captures photographs and some video of our Sunday services and major events for use on our social media channels and in our publicity.
Social media
A couple of volunteers promote the Gatehouse activities and administer our official social media accounts and groups. We also upload podcasts to our YouTube channel each week and connect with people on live chat during livestreams.
Podcast uploading
This involves preparing an audio version of our live YouTube stream of the message given at Sunday services or special events, and uploading this to our podcasting platform.
Serving
If you would like to get involved to serve on the team, or offer any skills or knowledge in any of these areas, please contact the team leader or complete the form below.
We are looking for creative people who are dedicated and don’t mind going over and above what is required sometimes, who don’t mind having to go to church early on Sunday mornings and some Saturdays and also want to contribute their skills and learn new ones!
As some of these areas are specialised and technical, we will give training to servers as much as we are able and as time permits.
