Introduction
Tech teams do a lot for the church... sometimes with very little recognition, budget, or training! Over the years of traveling and being in church ministry, we have learned a lot about what goes in to making a weekend service run. We believe that tech is another extension of worship and approach this area with excellence, desiring to create atmospheres that point people to Jesus! We have also built amazing relationships with the companies who sell tech equipment and can get equipment through these companies at the lowest cost for your church.
Let us sit down with you and your leadership team to hear the vision behind production for Sunday morning, livestream, video, etc, and let us help bring that to life!
initial consultation
We can help with:
-
Taking Inventory - We can come in and take inventory of what you have including that dreaded closet filled with stuff. If it's old gear, we may have another church that we are working with that could purchase old gear from you.
-
Upgrading Gear - We can give you three different "tiers" when it comes to upgrades. We will have three pricing options for you to get done what is needed. And we have relationships with dealers that can get you the best pricing.

Fresh Eyes - It really helps to have an unbiased opinion looking at what you're working with - let us be those fresh eyes for you!
Audio
Sound/tech services include:

PA Tuning - Some of the sound issues you are experiencing in house could be fixed with a simple PA tuning. We can balance your speakers and get your system sounding great!

Patch Lists - This is one of the MOST IMPORTANT things you need to have on hand. A patch list is a pathway from the source (instrument or mic) to the sound board.
-
Scene Building and Implementation - We can rebuild your show file on the console and train your team on how to navigate around the console.

Setting up broadcast mixes - Whether you are mixing through a DAW in another room, or you are just broadcasting your FOH mix, we can make sure you are getting the best quality possible.

Band upgrade options
Every church has a different sound when it comes to corporate worship.

-
Drum Tuning - As a drummer myself, I (Andrew) can come in and change the drumheads, clean the drums, and get them properly tuned.

Keys Rig - We can help you build a proper keyboard rig and create appropriate sounds for your setting. We can set up Ableton or MainStage and train your players on how to use it.

Guitar Pedals - Guitars are a massive part of that worship sound. Let us train your guitar players and build a "house' pedalboard for your team.
-
Click and Tracks - A lot of churches are utilizing tracks to help enhance the overall sound of their team. We can help get a simple tracks rig set up for you that won't break the budget. We will also help implement and train your team on how to use them while still being able to "flow" in those spontaneous moments.

what to expect...
You can expect a great attitude, humility, a friendly face, encouragement, and thorough training. We do not believe in spending tons of money for the best sound or look; we believe in enhancing what you have or finding the best equipment for the lowest cost.
