The short answer: is ChurchGear right for your church?
ChurchGear buys surplus audio, video and lighting gear from churches and resells it, so you can stretch a tight budget or turn old gear into cash. It's best for churches upgrading a booth piece by piece. The catch: stock depends on what churches sell, and the 6-month warranty only covers church buyers and gear rated Very Good or Excellent.
Who ChurchGear is for
Great for
- Small churches pricing a mixer, cameras or lights on a tight budget
- Churches with old gear in a closet that could fund an upgrade
- Tech directors who want a warranty on used equipment
Skip it if
- Churches that need a specific model by a deadline. Stock depends on what churches sell, so buy new from a dealer.
- Teams that want system design and installation. An AV integrator is a better fit.
