...we even tell you when to click

The other day I thought back to where CFPB services were twelve months ago, versus where they are now. In the midst of launching three other campuses and losing key volunteers...CFPB continues to raise the bar. HD Camera upgrade, ProVideoPlayer on Center Screen, Tighter integration of Stage Lighting, Digital signage on stage during Teaching portion of service...

The more we push, the more difficult communication would be, right? Not here...

Maybe a year, or even six months ago. Back then we had lots of "halos". Sound, Lights, Cameras, VJ, ProPresenter... we weren't operating as a cohesive unit as much as we were individuals doing their thing. And for the most part it worked, but the services didn't really come together with the same "pop" as they do now.

This is a sample of our current "script". About a year ago I don't think we had a "script". There were words on a page, but it was a guessing game whether they were accurate, much less what was happening during each of the songs. Now everything is scripted. Why is it scripted out in as much detail? Because we as staff put a LOT of effort into our services and we want it executed it properly. And CF Media volunteers have a built-in standard of excellence (oftentimes higher than the staff's standard). Volunteers want it done right, and as long as we communicate what needs to happen, our volunteers do it! It's exciting to see that level of ownership!

Take a look at our "script". Realize 1) the amount of work that goes into prepping a service and 2) how easy it is for CF volunteers to execute a service with this level of info.

Together CF Staff and CF Media Volunteers continue to raise the bar EVERY WEEK! It's phenomenal to see God use this group of people to reach the city of Miami. Thanks, everybody!

CFers, seriously. If you can click a mouse, push a button, type on a keyboard, or flip a switch... get involved in Media! Media is so easy we even tell you WHEN to click! Email media@cfmiami.org.

Awesome stuff Jeff. I'd love to be part of the team but the commute from the UK every week would probably get a bit tiring!

You know all you need to do is tie in the intercom system to a VOIP and remote into the sets and you can run this with volunteers from anywhere in the world. Add some remote control cameras and boy oh boy...
