The short answer: is Church Production right for your church?
Church Production is a free magazine and website for church tech teams, covering audio, video, lighting and livestreaming, with a digital edition 10 times a year. It's best for tech directors and production volunteers who want to keep learning between Sundays. The catch: it's broad coverage, so you'll still need hands-on help with your exact gear.
Who Church Production is for
Great for
- Tech directors training a rotation of production volunteers
- Volunteers who run sound or lights and want to understand why, not just how
- Churches planning a gear upgrade who want to see what other churches use
Skip it if
- Teams stuck on one specific console or switcher. The manufacturer's manual and training videos go deeper.
- Communications staff focused on graphics and social media. A church communications blog is a better fit.
How churches use Church Production
Volunteer training reading
Share one audio or lighting article with your team each month, so new volunteers learn the basics before they run a Sunday.
Planning a livestream upgrade
Read the video and streaming sections before you budget for new cameras or a switcher, so you know which questions to ask.
Taking the team to a conference
The Church Production Conference runs inside the Church & Facilities Expo (CFX), with sessions on livestreaming, multi-camera directing, lighting and burnout.
