Video Webcasting is similar to the idea of Television Broadcasting, with several advantages. First of all, webcasting is hundreds of times cheaper than traditional Television Broadcasting. Secondarily, there are no geographic boundaries that would exclude your audience. And because we can stream an unlimited number of services at one time, it is much easier to get your service broadcasted.

Simply put, we give you the ability to capture what is happening during your worship service and make it available to be experienced by others who cannot be in attendance by watching it on their own computer. We not only help you broadcast live, but also maintain archives of all of your broadcasts to be watched later.

Practically anything that is happening with your church community that other folks would like to be a part of, including church services, weddings, funerals, banquets, concerts or plays, or teaching seminars.

Your church probably owns most of the equipment that you would need to webcast your services. We capture the video feed from a camera set up inside of your sanctuary and the audio feed from your existing sound equipment. Then the audio and video are connected to a computer with access to the Internet. The computer sends your service to our Streaming Media server for distribution to your audience. The software to �stream� your service over the Internet is a free download, and our setup costs and per-service-fees are priced very reasonably.

The folks at home need a computer connected to the Internet and a free program such as �Windows Media Player� to watch your service. To watch a live service they would need to have an Internet connection that is better than the old �dial-up� accounts. While the majority of people in the US already have broadband or DSL access, those that do not can download and then watch your service archive later. In addition for no extra cost or equipment you could stream an �audio-only� broadcast for those to listen to that do not have high-speed internet access.

Church website Most churches already have a Church Website in place already. We provide an embedded Windows Media Player control to include in your existing website. We can also provide input forms connected to our broadcast schedule database and displays for your website which will only include your services. Our website If your church does not have a website, or unless otherwise directed, we will also include all of your webcasts as part of our website. We will provide searchable lists of previous broadcasts, by topic, date, church, and/or speaker.

What kind of people would be willing to sit in front of a computer screen and watch a church service? Folks who aren't able to be there in person, that's who!

When folks go on vacation, they can stay connected and involved with their church back home. Especially for those who spend their winters in warmer climates. Because all of our webcasts are also archived, vacationers who are attending church elsewhere while on vacation can still watch their home church service on their time schedule.

When a regular church goer is forced to miss going to church, it creates a hole in their lives. Not only do we miss the encouragement and teaching from the Word of God, but we miss the connection with our brothers and sisters in Christ. Many of these in the past have been forced to turn to TV preachers to be fed. However they still miss the sense of community with those they love.

Often Satan causes non-church attenders to feel uncomfortable coming into a church. Video webcasting gives them the opportunity to hear the Gospel in a non-threatening environment first. We are told to go out into the highways and byways to reach sinners. What a great opportunity and responsibility has been afforded to Christians!

When a person has the chance to play a special role in a church service, their family and friends enjoy the ability to share in the experience. From soloists & children�s programs to baptisms with the added benefit of providing an easy way for the participants to re-watch themselves later.

Even those who have moved away like to keep in-touch with their �home� church.
