Livestream Ministry

St. John’s began streaming services in September 2020 before the public was even allowed to return due to Covid-19. We have continued streaming and upgraded equipment in 2022 to allow a single volunteer to control and switch among three cameras around the church.

If you have a skill for broadcast or theater tech, enjoy engaging with people on social media, or are interested in getting to know the liturgical structure of our services, you’d be a perfect volunteer for our livestream ministry. We will train you in all the skills needed, and the time commitment is just coming a half hour early and staying 10 minutes late for a service you might attend anyway.

Sign up using the form below, and someone will be in touch.
