Streaming and Recording for your Congregation: A Living Document

This document aims to provide the resources necessary to empower small and medium-sized congregations to confidently create an online streaming program and prerecorded digital presence.

At the time of the creation of this document, many church congregations are discovering a need to move traditional Sunday services online due to a worldwide pandemic. Community is as important now as it has ever been, but we find ourselves unable to gather in-person. Luckily, there are now many tools that can be used to virtually close this physical gap and adapt traditional, well-practiced services to an online platform.

The goal of this document is not to provide an exhaustive guide on streaming and recording, rather it should provide a jumping off point for congregations nervous about creating a digital presence. This guide will discuss two practical tools that can be used to bring your church service to the congregation remotely: streaming and recording.
