Ministry Opportunities
The bpChurch Tech Team is starting a Media Productions group to create our livestreams each Sunday. This involves a joystick device to control the cameras (position, zoom, etc.) and an easy-to-use software program to select which camera views to include in the final production, etc. This ministry operates only on Sunday mornings and hopefully people would only be scheduled once a month.
We are also looking to expand our sound mixing group. After training, members would mix the sound for the livestream. This allows members to gain valuable experience and help to improve the livestream production. This ministry operates only on Sunday mornings and hopefully people would only be scheduled once a month.
If you are interested or
have questions, contact Forrest Fisher at 509-969-0588 or bptechadmin@bpchurch.com.

bpChurch Technology Updates 1. One of our speakers has failed electronics inside and is currently in the repair shop. Temporary replacements were rented starting April 14. 2. The unusual issues with the sound in the livestream have been solved. A default "audio enhancement" setting in Windows 11 on our laptops was the cause and turning the setting off fixed it starting last Sunday. 3. We are using and running our own equipment for sound, projection, and controlling the stage lights while at PHS. BGPS staff are required to run those systems if we were using their systems. This saves bpChurch almost six figures in cost! |
