Many church activities were held online during lockdown, using software called Zoom. This free and easy to use video meeting software is available for nearly all operating systems and mobile platforms.
Trainings can also be held online, eliminating the need for space and scheduling issues. Moreover, Zoom has the capability to record sessions and play them back at a later time.
| Have you tried Meetn, the new online meeting platform? It’s turning out to become a decent alternative to Zoom and to the other major platforms. |
Video Service Streaming
Video service streaming is a technology that makes it possible to watch content from a variety of devices. This can include computers, tablets, phones and even TVs.
Streaming works by sending video and audio data in small packets that are sent over a network, like the internet. Much of this data is encapsulated in a multimedia container, such as the Flash Media file format (FLV), which is the standard for delivering high-quality audio and video across a wide range of devices.
Depending on your needs, the best way to make this process run smoothly is to implement a technology called a content delivery network, or CDN for short. This consists of servers scattered across the globe that deliver your content to viewers around the world. It’s the perfect way to ensure that all of your users will be able to enjoy your videos on their favorite device without having to wait. It can also save you some cash by reducing bandwidth requirements.
Training
Training is an important part of any company and focuses on educating employees on how to perform certain tasks or replicate their behavior. This allows employees to carry out their job duties more effectively and increase their productivity.
Investing in training also increases lifetime customer satisfaction, loyalty, and revenue for businesses. Employees who are trained feel that their employer cares about them and is investing in them.
One of the best ways to keep your church members connected online is to host some fun Zoom games during your online service. These games can be easy to implement and can bring your members together while promoting a sense of fellowship.
Some popular game ideas include Pop-See-Ko, Jeopardy, and Bible Mad Gab. You can find these games at various websites, or create your own with background features on Zoom. You can use these game ideas in children’s ministry, youth ministry, or any other age group for fun and connection.
Small Groups
Small groups offer a variety of opportunities for people to grow in their spiritual journeys and relationships with Christ. They can discuss the Sunday sermon, talk about spiritual battles, pray for one another, and more.
They can help believers who may be missing out on the closeness they’ve come to expect from church. They can also be an important tool for reaching out to non-church members who are considering a faith home or would like to start attending your congregation.
Groups can provide a context for believers to practice the biblical imperative of loving the unchurched. This helps to close the shepherding gap that can arise when elders don’t know their flock well enough to assist them through the trials of life.
In the end, groups are about communion, inclusive community and mission. When these three things come together in balance, transformation happens. Disciples are formed and the Kingdom of God is experienced.
Town Halls
Town Halls are a great way to share news with the entire company, whether you’re celebrating a client win or updating your team on a cross-company initiative. They’re also a great opportunity for employees to ask questions and raise concerns.
Unlike a team meeting, town halls usually involve the whole company, which can be a great way to build relationships and improve transparency. They also provide a great opportunity to share company culture and values with your team.
A town hall can take a variety of formats, including in-person gatherings, group phone calls, and Internet-based events such as Facebook Live Events. They’re often organized by elected officials or political candidates and are used to gather feedback on issues from constituents.
If you are interested in participating in a town hall, be sure to check with your member of Congress or candidate’s office. Many of them have a form or link on their website to sign-up for upcoming town hall events.
