Provide audio support and video recording for worship services on Sunday mornings and special services during the Church year which typically involves Christmas (Example - Christmas Eve) and Easter (Example - Lent, Maundy Thursday, Good Friday). This includes:
1) Video Recording on 1st and 3rd Sundays the 10:30 Praise service, no communion
2) Video Recording on 2nd and 4th Sundays the 8:00 Traditional service, no communion

The recording process uses a camera with professional controls and OBS Software. Presets have been assigned and are selected during the recording process. Modifications for enhanced viewing is allowed but not required. Pausing the recorder during Communion distribution is preferred for personal privacy during the sacrament. During Communion at the 10:30 service, it is desired to play recorded audio music, softly for background. This is typically done using the computer; however, a CD player is available if desired.
At the 10:30 service, use of Easy Worship software, which is a Windows based software, is used to project songs, scripture readings, responses, prayers, and any information used during the worship process.
Building the Easy Worship schedule from the bulletin is required and is typically done once a bulletin is available from the church secretary. Songs for 10:30 worship will be built in PowerPoint by the Praise Band team leader and given to the A/V operator to integrate into the building of the schedule. Existing songs are stored in the laptop. Any song slides will be provided to the A/V operator, prior to the bulletin availability, to allow for efficient build of the schedule.
Skills required: Knowledge and familiarity with Windows driven software, sound board operations, and the following software:
Easy Worship
OBS Studio
Windows PowerPoint
Windows Media Player
Training and support will be provided.
Compensation is a salaried position at $100 per week.
Any questions regarding the application process call the Church office 937-596-6516,
NOTE: If the congregational council advises 10:30 worship during June, July and August to be outdoors at the shelter house, additional work will be involved, but without Easy Worship. A portable camcorder is used for the video and a completely portable sound system has been created for ease of use along with the laptop from the indoor system.
