Multimedia Ministry

Integrating Art, Video and Photography

Multimedia is a huge part of our identity at SOTH.  We have a dedicated group of staff and volunteers that brings new insight and creativity in this growing church.  Our purpose is not to make a "production" out of Sunday worship but to provide a rich worship experience that opens a new window to our understanding of God.

Our Mission

The Multimedia team at Shepherd of the Hills, headed by Doug Nason, seeks to enhance worship through the visual and aural senses. We go beyond the ordinary use of song lyrics and Bible verse on screen by integrating art, video, photography, and other media into all aspects of our worship services. Our hope is to reach the people in the pews in ways that the spoken word cannot and develop the skills and talents of our many volunteers in this vital ministry.

Our Team of Volunteers

We have several teams working together to make our Multimedia Ministry successful. Our Video Team records one service per week and distributes the weekly sermon on DVD, VHS, and streaming video on the web. Our "tech booth" crew runs audio for the band, choir, and worship leaders while running the slides and videos on the screens. Others in the group produce videos for use in worship, and a graphic artist produces weekly sermon graphics for use on screen and printed materials. We are always looking for more people to help in all areas.

Examples of Different Media Used

We've provided some samples of what we do here at SOTH for you to explore.

Multimedia Ministry Discussion Forum

SOTH and its Multimedia Team have trained many local church leaders on how to effectively use multimedia in worship. We know that there are many "lone rangers" out there creating AV material from scratch. It is our hope that we can best serve each other by being in community with one another. So, if you're involved with church audio, video, or any other media and would like to share ideas, materials or resources, email Doug Nason. You'll be in touch with others in the area to get ideas, borrow equipment, or assist churches who are starting up their own Multimedia teams.
